Oh shoot! I screwed up, because I used the voice I’ve used forever in a day on voice dream reader, and it is not the one I use for VoiceOver. For VoiceOver, I use Alex. Unless it’s Russian, and then that’s not relevant to this discussion. But for a voice dream reader, I either use James or Kendra, those have been around forever and I’ve used them forever. Have you downloaded any of the voices from voice dream? Have you tried just changing your document settings voice for this book to some other voice and see if it still happens? Which voice do you use now? Samantha? Alex? Tom? Etc. Sent from my iPhone
