Thank you all. I should have specified I am trying to use the current female Siri voice. Aron is good but is terrible with words having letter O in them. Especially, it destroys the word “books” very badly. In the word like “mostly” the “o” sound is doubled. I know you can manage pronunciation but when. A specific letter sound is coded in a certain way, not sure wha to do. Go back to samantha I guess.
