What is the difference in enhanced and just Samantha, as it comes? -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Alan Lemly Sent: Friday, January 10, 2020 11:48 AM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: Are any other voices as consistently accurate as Samantha?
Shermeen, I expect we could get a lot of comments on this topic since TTS voice preference is so subjective and usually generates a lot of opinion expression. I personally find Samantha enhanced to meet my needs because I've found where I don't have a strong opinion to stick with the default option with computer choices. I use Samantha enhanced at 60% speed on my iPhone 8 and I make sure I add a custom pronunciation whenever she speaks a word or name incorrectly. I do try other voices from time to time but find I always return to Samantha enhanced.

The subject line basically says it all. Occasionally, I get bored of the default voice, and briefly experiment with another voice. I invariably go back to the default though, as they all seem to have one peculiarity or another: they either sound odd and distorted if sped up, pronounce too many words incorrectly, or are accented or inflect in such a way that doesn't sound natural to me. What voices are you all using, and what speed do you have them set to? What are your thoughts on frequency of correct pronunciation? Thanks, and have a great weekend.
