Peculiar issue with the word "out" using en-US-DavisNeural

hig 0

Hi,

I just want to notify you that the voice en-US-DavisNeural does not speak the "t" in "out". He only speaks "ou".

All the other English neural voices speak "out" correctly.

Other than that en-US-DavisNeural is a fantastic voice.

Steps to reproduce:

Go to: https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/products/cognitive-services/text-to-speech/
Select the voice Davis-Neural
Set the text to "out"
Play

Best regards

hig I think in this case the voice does seems to missing the last pronunciation for 't' if out is the last word in the sentence. If out is not the last word the sentences does seem to pronounce it correctly.

Here are some sentences that you could check and confirm.

Isn't that out of bounds Out of the ordinary out there

We will report the same internally to check if this can be sorted. Thanks for reporting.
