Can you use iOS 11 Siri voices in Voice Dream Reader?

Hi, I have installed ios 11 on a iphone SE and tried to find on voicedream settings if possible to select new siri voices (italian).
But I could not find those voices present on voices lists in voicedream.
Do someone have tried it succesfully or it is a feature request for voicedream developers?

to my knowledge, it is not currently possible to use these as the voice Dream reader voice in the usual way, however you can still read books with them in voice dream buy just using the two-finger swipe down method.

Currently it is not possible as Apple considers it as a possible security problem - if some app can pretend to be Siri it could try to steal your data in conversation with you.

And while it is quite reasonable, it is not reasonable that we can’t use this voice if we could explicitly agree in some settings that we are aware of those problems and want to use Siri.

I would suggest everyone to submit this as a feedback to Apple so that they take this under consideration. https://www.apple.com/feedback/
