Hello everyone.
I'm an iPhone user from China, I'm sorry I don't speak English, so this post was translated with a translator.
We apologize for any offense to this post.
iOS16 VoiceOver has some problems with Chinese voice, and I don't know where the feedback will be handled.
Many problems Chinese users have already reported to the accessibility hotline, and I have also emailed the accessibility email, but these problems have not been solved.
Let me talk about the problems I found.
1. When VoiceOver uses Siri voice, VoiceOver crashes when encountering long sentences, which has been a problem for a long time, since iOS11.
2. The new Chinese sound added by iOS16 does not have high-definition sound, although you can choose the default sound quality and high-definition sound quality in the options, but in fact, the so-called high-definition sound quality is still the default sound quality effect, and the volume of the voice is very small. It's a pity.
3. The new voice character Lilian misses characters, and the last word of the sentence read each time will be missed. However, LIlian is the best of the new sounds, but it cannot be used because of bugs.
4. Shanghainese is not placed under the classification of Chinese.
5. When using Bluetooth speakers, if you play audio or make adjustments to the audio that is playing, the sound of VoiceOver on iPhone suddenly becomes loud, this problem has been there since I started using iOS11 until iOS16 has not been fixed.
6. VoiceOver on iOS16 cannot read the lunar date on the lock screen.
7. When image description and text detection are enabled, browsing photos in an album will crash VoiceOver. In the camera frame and magnifying glass, VoiceOver also crashes.
8. The person in charge of the VoiceOver Chinese defines some pronunciation of Chinese numbers, but their definitions are redundant, but it causes digital reading errors, please remove the pronunciation definition of numbers, because Vocalizer's voice itself reads numbers very well. Currently, 100 yibai, 1000 yiqian and 100.00 decimal points are mispronounced.

Chinese users have encountered far more bugs than that
I'm so excited after reading your posts.In recent years, Chinese users have encountered more and more bugs.I can say thousands of words just for the input method.This is just an iOS bug, but if you extend it to Mac, the number of bugs is mind-boggling.
In fact, many of us have submitted feedback reports to Apple, and even they have found the person in charge of the real feature development, of course I can't talk about the details.However, most of the bugs in the feedback to date have not been resolved.What is the reason for this? I don't know.I don't think it's going to do anything to fix the bug, but at least it's going to give us some relief, right?
yes
I think it won't be fixed in IOS 16 will be wait for IOS 17.
I don't like the new SIn Ji voice as well.
send a E-mail to: accessibility@apple.com
I think we can send anE-mail to accessibility@apple.com
and explaine the issue.
I already send a few E-mail to them.
Of course we should email Accessibility.com
Unfortunately, it hardly works.Most of the time we get a reply telling us they're going to look into the bug and never hear more from us.Apparently these bugs haven't been fixed either.I, for one, have sent them a staggering number of emails over the years, with little to show for it.So I quite understand the feelings of the author of this post.
I think it would not be fixed in IOS 16
My opinion is it may not fix it in IOS16
maybe it will be in IOS 17
Thank you all very much for…
Thank you all very much for your responses.
I will not reply to each floor individually, so I thank you for your responses.
In addition, I would like to say to Edward Louie that in Chinese mainland or other parts of China, some HTML programmers do not pay much attention to the language configuration of the header of the web page, and some Chinese the language defined by the header of the web page is English, which causes browsers and VoiceOver to read some non-standard Chinese web pages in English. So I guess it's not just Apple's problem.
I also want to complain about some of Apple's practices. Every time there is an accessibility bug, it is necessary to wait until a new iOS major version is released, but new systems often have higher hardware requirements, which is very unfriendly to older models, but some accessibility bug fixes are very necessary for us.
I can understand that Apple forces users to replace their phones with new ones through system updates, but for people with disabilities, especially in developing countries, replacing iPhones is quite expensive.
The reply post here often prompts that there is an error, sorry I can't communicate with you in time.
