Hmmm, one example is that in the subject line of this email, Alex says oddly with a distinctive H sound at the beginning like its spelled HODDLY. If I spell out the last name Solden but I refer to the whole family as the Soldens then Alex speaks "S" it sounds like he actually says es with the s sound drawn out very slowly. Alex does all of these weird things in any environment even if I am typing or having voiceover read something I just typed I do not have caps lock on. I get an alert sound if I type in caps lock. Sometimes VO reads in ways that are difficult to explain. Sometimes it acts as if there are a weird string of characters in the middle of a word. Sometimes Alex just leaves letters from the beginning or the end of words off. I wish I could pin point the problem or the exact time when it happens but it's just all over the place. It's really annoying when I keep thinking I typed a document incorrectly only to find that voiceover is just reading incorrectly and it wastes a ton of my time. I will try to remember more examples. I do notice it the most when using iMessage on my mac though. . Sent from Christina's iMac :)
