Alistair Posted November 2, 2019 Share Posted November 2, 2019 (edited) I'm hearing "Hello, My naam is Danel, I am a Brillish English voik" in the Preferences>>Speech>>Voice testing. And no, that's not the way we speak in Britain. Not even in Essex. Fiona sounds good. Karen is a bit mangled. Kate is awful. Moira sounds good. Oliver is terrible. Samantha is great. Serena is the worst of them all. Tessa rocks. Veena is good. The voices I have actually downloaded in my system preferences (the four British English voices) sound the worst. The voices all sound like they should in System preferences>>Accessibility>>Speech. Edited November 2, 2019 by Alistair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alistair Posted November 2, 2019 Author Share Posted November 2, 2019 Something is seriously wrong here, listen to Daniel reading Genesis: Sorry cannot upload an MP3. https://cp.sync.com/dl/b3160be40/in6ga4ia-9sk7ap4c-nhta48x4-zdixubiu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alistair Posted November 2, 2019 Author Share Posted November 2, 2019 Bizarre as is sounds, I promise you that is an authentic recording of the Mac OS system voice Daniel reading Genesis in Accordance. All the British English voices are mangling the text. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alistair Posted November 2, 2019 Author Share Posted November 2, 2019 (edited) It seems the British English voices cannot see (and do not read) the letters E and T. Or G. Edited November 2, 2019 by Alistair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fabian Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 (edited) If you go to the Voices in the Preferences from the Mac. Some Voices can be upgraded to a higher quality. Maybe this helps. Perphaps you have done so. Greetings Fabian Edited November 10, 2019 by Fabian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fabian Posted November 10, 2019 Share Posted November 10, 2019 Ah I see now you have tested it last time I mentioned this tool. Greetings Fabian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alistair Posted November 11, 2019 Author Share Posted November 11, 2019 Fabian, I even deleted the installed premier voices and re-downloaded them. No other voices are affected to my knowledge, just the British English ones. The voices all work perfectly in other contexts. Seeing how the voices read "FAK OF" twice in Genesis 1:2 I'm surprised there hasn't been an official response. Has anyone been able to replicate this?

Silas Marrs Posted November 11, 2019 Share Posted November 11, 2019 (edited) I think I found the problem. I'll see if I can't fix it for the next release. Edited November 11, 2019 by Silas Marrs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
