Hello Apple users, Koushik from India have been using iPhone from four years. Now my current device is iPhone 14 Pro Max, I’m really disappointed with auto language detection, especially Indian languages that too special mention towards South Indian regional languages. even though we added voices on router, but we can’t able to still Read any South Indian regional documentation. Automatically. I am posting here at the hope where it reaches to the Apple community. thank you.

Dear Apple we are facing major issue while using auto language detection because in India auto language detection feature is not working properly so try to make it fix this problem because it is very very help to our blind community. In daily routine lives we have so much of documents for reading while using auto language detection especially, newspapers, government documents, and much more but the main problem is auto language detection is not working so try to fix the problem it's a serious issue so many blind people are facing this problem while using auto language detection

Working for me but I use Spanish just for fun. Hope iOS 18.2 will fix your problem. The RC is out now and the public version next week.

After they release vocaliser voices for Indian regional languages. From that time I mean from 16, we are waiting to get automatic language detection feature. Let us who will get soon.

Yes, it’s not automatically switching to the Telugu language. Since iOS 16, the day support for the Telugu language has been rolled out. I’ve been optimistic that it will be fixed, but I’m not sure how long I’ll have to wait.

My native language is English, and I’ve been teaching myself German. Because of this, sometimes I like to read German news websites and the like. Sometimes the VoiceOver automatically switches over to the German language, and sometimes it doesn’t and I have to switch it with the rotor. It’s not necessarily a dealbreaker, but it is annoying.

It never worked for me in my native language, though there is supporting voice available, not just for Telugu, but for all Indian languages other than Hindi, Auto switching is not working.
