I created some simple Shortcuts in the new iOS Shortcuts app (iOS 12) to be invoked by Siri.
Like: "Goodmorning Siri, start my morning routine" and then some actions.
Now I also would like to let Siri say some things to me, as simple as: "Hello Jeroen, I hope you have a good morning".
I am supposed to use the "Show result" actions for this, this action should result in spoken feedback if the shortcut is executed via Siri.
The problem is: "Show result" text is not spoken (Siri feedback) by Siri when the shortcut is invoked via Siri.
Actions that come after the Show Result action are executed.
Here is an example Shortcut:
I tried already:
- turning Siri on and off
- Soft reset
- Reset network
- Change Siri and iOS language
Update: I have a iPhone SE

Shortcuts allows for this, but not with the default Siri voice.
In order to add speech into your Shortcut, you need to add two objects into your script.
First: "Text". Second: "Speak Text".
The following screenshot should help. Alter the contents of the
Text
box to your liking, and tweak the language, speed and rate to your liking inSpeak Text
. Hope this helps!
