Thanks for the info. I was able to reset all voices to default at the bottom of the page in the voice settings and it started working again. I returned my adjustments to the voice and it continued to work however when I adjusted equalizer the crashes came back. Resetting equalizer returns normal function. Hope this helps you out.

Same issue. Was working with original voice, on iPadOS 18.2, but as soon as I changed reader voice, continuous crashes of all search apps such as DuckDuckGo / Brave etc.

After 1 hour it started to crash everything again when I tried to highlight then speak. I’m just perplexed with this now.

I wonder who made a factory reset or a DFU restore to their iPhones or iPads using iTunes, does it solve the problem completely?

After updating my iPhone 11 to iOS 18, the Siri neural engine voices in Spanish Mexico stopped working with Spoken content. I’ve factory reset my iPhone 11 more than once but with absolutely no luck

Had the same problem on my iPad Air 4. When any highlighted text in any App would crash when I tried to use Speak. Tried a lot of things listed here and on the web and nothing would work. So I just updated iOS from 18.1.1 to 18.2 and everything is back to normal.

Did you try resetting all settings? If it doesn’t work, make a list with all the taken troubleshooting steps and then contact Accesibility support regarding this issue. If you use a Siri neural voice for Spoken content, it might cause the glitches. Try to reinstall it or use a compact voice, not an enhanced one
