I have the new beta Siri voice working on my iPhone five. It sounds great and more realistic, however when I select text on the Internet and click speak the old Siri voice comes out. This is unfortunate because I mostly use Siri's voice when reading books on Kindle or iBooks. And articles on the Internet since I have eyestrain. I did notice there is a download enhanced version for the voices in the settings however after downloading nothing changed. Is this happening for everyone? Anyone know a fix?

You mean you're using VoiceOver (text to speech)? The VoiceOver voice was there long before Siri. Technically, it has nothing to do with Siri or Siri's voice.
