Siri reads spellings too fast

Why has Siri started reading spellings fast, it used to be fine.

Some people may be able to keep up with it, but for poor spellers like myself I need it to be like it was before.

If you’re a good speller you probably need it less than I do.

You can change Siri's speaking speed. See how here --> Change Siri volume and speaking rate - Apple Support

I have the same problem. Suddenly only spelling is too fast. Changing Siri’s speaking rate has not helped.
