tts cant read "Cоmmuniсаtiоn is often dоnе without our own соnѕсiоuѕ awareness"

Question

Hello everyone,

im using the azure tts and encountered a weird problem.

i tried testing the following line "Cоmmuniсаtiоn is often dоnе without our own соnѕсiоuѕ awareness" on the various voices available in the voice catalog. so far all i tested weren't able to read that sentence aloud.

some skipped words and others couldn't pronounce them.

Hi @executer,

Thank you for reaching out to the community forum. I understand that you're experiencing issues with the Azure Text-to-Speech service.

It's possible that the issue you're experiencing is related to the encoding of the text you're copying and pasting. When you copy and paste text, it may contain hidden characters or formatting that can affect the pronunciation.

I attempted to reproduce the issue by copying and pasting the text you provided and encountered pronunciation issues. However, when I manually typed the text, I was able to obtain the correct pronunciation without any issues. I also tested multiple voices to confirm the results.

I suggest that you try typing the text manually instead of copying and pasting it to see if that resolves the issue. If the text is pronounced correctly when you type it manually, then the issue is likely related to the encoding of the copied text.

I hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions.
