I stopped using Alex because of those kind of strange pronunciation problems. I use Tom Enhanced and don't find nearly the number of bad pronunciations.

I have had it for a few months now. I love it! Before I got it, I was using the 10 XR. Anyway, I have noticed something odd. I can't say for certain when I first noticed it. And I am also not quite sure if it is somehow my phone, or the Voiceover voice of Alex. But I have noticed that some words sound odd to me. I can't think of any examples at the moment. And for this I do apologize. It seems though that letters sound as though they are dropped. Or that the word is not written correctly. Now I do tend to mis-spell a good deal, and I have to go back and correct stuff. However, the other day i was sending a text with a word in it that ended in the letters E, D. I can't remember what the word was now, or I would have just written it. But when I read my text back to make sure it was correct, I had to view the word character by character, to make sure it was correct. It was. But Alex spoke it as though the d wasn't there. Has anyone else experienced this? Does it happen with other voices? I have tried other voices in the past. But I always come back to Alex. It used to seem clearer to me. What do you all think? Any thoughts or suggestions are much appreciated. Thank you, Terri -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
