Hello,
I have noticed a few pronunciation issues in Azure TTS, and was wondering what the best channel to report them would be. I will try to detail them below:
- Jenny Multilingual: When speaking Spanish (Mexico), the letter Z in any position and C before E or I should produce the same phoneme as S. Instead, they currently produce a very short dental fricative-like sound.
- Catalan voices: Post-clitic pronouns after verbs in infinitive form are not rendered properly when separated by hyphen, as required by Catalan orthography. For example, in cantar-la/cantar-ne/cantar-ho, the R is not pronounced. While this is correct when the verb is by itself, the R is pronounced as if there were no hyphen when in post-clitic form.
- Catalan voices: Many short utterances produce a strange and unnatural upwards inflection at the end. Try "estiu" vs "estem a l'estiu", "hivern" vs "estem a l'hivern".
- Catalan voices: Però is pronounced stressed in all positions. As far as I understand, però should never be stressed.
Thank you.
