@Mopetenpit There seems to be a bug in Apple's Text To Speech (TTS) functionality as of iOS 15.6, specific to the German language. All apps that use TTS have the same issue, it's not related to MRA. This thread over on the Apple forums offers some work-arounds that may help.

@Herko-ter-Horst, Good find!

Very interesting, that this is an iOS bug. I would like to know why the problem is gone after an iOS update. I am not sure which update it was, but I have now 16.3.1

@Mopetenpit Great - this really rules out any MRA related issue

I don’t speak German but I guess the English pronunciation of German street names and towns, must be excruciating

Oh yes that could be really funny.
This is the longest streetname in German:"Bischöflich-Geistlicher-Rat-Josef-Zinnbauer-Straße"

@Corjan-Meijerink, I replied this in another thread about it, might be useful to copy that here too:
The "homograph" problem is really an IOS bug and typical for German language. But please try this as a workaround:
Einstellungen - Bedienungshilfen - Voice Over - Beschriftungsbereich (ganz unten) - deaktiviere das
Can you please check if the problem goes away?
