If it's like the mac Alex will be a U.S. English voice only. Other languages should still use the Vocalizer Expressive voices as with the case on iOS 7. As for speak screen I speculate this would be useless for VO users; more for those with low vision such as Zoom users or those with a learning

I imagine Alex will remain English only, with the usual Nuance voices being used for all other languages. That's just speculation, though. I don't know, but the speak screen option seems more for occasional use by people who can usually see the screen; I doubt it is intended for use by VO users
