Not sure that I understand. It previously worked fine and the behavior changed after you updated Xcode?

The changes suggested have nothing to do with the speech rate.

If you think that it is related to Xcode 7 vs. Xcode 6 then you can try it with the hosted builder. The hosted builder runs Xcode 6.4.

ok
My tester in los angeles has an iphon5 and he says now there is still the rapid impossible to understand
voice(donald duck) on my app( have removed the rate setting

TTS1.SpeechRate =0.50
).
This app's only change has been that i am now using xcode7 before it was xcode 6.4.
So will this be fixed soon?

(as if you did not have other things to worry about)

I do not want to rollback to 6.4.
(i know about the on-line thing, but not sure how to use it)
can you provide me a link?

There is nothing that can be fixed. The speech rate is handled by the native API.

The lastest build(.86) has to have a TTS1.SpeechRate =0.15
This was required on the older version of the compiler(6.4 on-line from Erel).
With no rate it spoke just like donald duck. But after the new rate; it sounded normal.
all of this done on my iphone6.
So there is hope that this one will work on iphone 5!
have to wait till they test it in los angeles after 6:00 pm gmt

ok...on the iphone5 and xcode 7.0 the text to speech do not produce an understandable
speech.
but on the iphone5 and xcode 6.4 text to speech work as before and the speech rate is
required (as before) to made the speech understandable!(rate=.15)

so if you app uses speech and runs on the iphone5 you need to use xcode 6.4...(b4i on-line compiler)

Note that you can check the OS version with App.OsVersion.

What is "App" ? I have tried to write a line beginning with "If App.OsVersion < 9 Then ..." but "App" isn't known by B4i. I've tried to replace it by my application label, but it doesn't work either.

Many thanks, this code now works !

B4X:

If App.OSVersion < 9 Then
    TTS1.SpeechRate = (TTS1.MAX_SPEECH_RATE - TTS1.MIN_SPEECH_RATE) /10
Else
    TTS1.SpeechRate = (TTS1.MAX_SPEECH_RATE - TTS1.MIN_SPEECH_RATE) /2  
End If
