Now that newer iDevices have the capability to handle machine-learning tasks on-device as evidenced by Siri's offline capabilities in iOS 15, I think Apple should allow VoiceOver to leverage the same technology with speech production - at least for tasks involving continuous reading of books/articles. As such, for instance, while I like the older American (Voice 4) female Siri voice when used for Siri responses, I've never been able to tolerate its mispronunciations and odd intonation changes with VoiceOver. However, they lose their vigor and accuracy once their so-called localized versions are downloaded and installed for use with VoiceOver. Currently Apple develops Siri voices which sound really good when used with Siri as they utilize a newer machine-learning/deep-learning based technology.
