Re: A somewhat comical bug that Sooo! needs to be fixed in I O S 9.0.2.

2015-10-13 Thread Bill Gallik 
The problem has "gone away" after I deployed the Alex voice on my iPhone 6.  
But, I think I'll try switching back to the Samantha voice to find out if 
switching the voices helps the matter.

Thanks for the idea!

For me the mispronounciation of the letter B only occurs when the B is 
capitalized. I find the mispronounction helpful being that B and V sound so 
similar.

Re: A somewhat comical bug that Sooo! needs to be fixed in I O S 9.0.2.

2015-10-12 Thread Bill Gallik 
One quite annoying mispronunciation I've encountered in iOS 9.0.2 is that 
capitol "B" is not pronounced at all correctly.  It sound to these ears as if 
VoiceOver were saying "Cap Lee."

This happens whether I'm in the CONTACTS and perusing each capitol letter, 
checking the spelling of a word character by character or any other endeavor 
where the "B" should be pronounced "Cap B."

I will add, this also happens with the lower case "b" minus the "Cap" of course.

I'm using an iPhone 6, 128 GB, U.S. English.

Has anybody else encountered this?

OK, first off, this is not the public beta.  I'm speaking of the official I 
O S build.  that being said, this does happen as well on the beta.  I tested 
it.  Technically, I probably shouldn't be saying that, but anyway...

Try this for yourself.

1.  Switch your speech to the enhanced quality Symantha voice.  It's the 
only one where I'm seeing this occur.

2.  Type in the word "bit", b i t.  bit.  then, have it read back just the 
individual word.  Notice that it reads it correctly.

3.  Now however, do this.  Type in a full sentence and use the word "bit" b 
i t, in the middle of the sentence.  Make sure there's at least one word after 
it in the sentence.

Now mark?  Do not put me on moderator status here.  We are all? adults 
here.  OK?  I'm not cussing like in my last thread.  I'm quoting a bug here.  
I'm not trying to unprofessionally curse.  So, let's be mature about this!  I'm 
gonna be quite angry if you call me out on this publicly or not.  But 
seriously, you'll notice, instead of saying bit, it instead says, bitch!  b i t 
c h.  Like a female dog.

Example:  I hope it explains things a bit differently, would actually come 
out as:  I hope it explains things a bitch differently.

If you read word by word though with your rotor, you'll notice that you 
did! spell things correctly, and that in all actuality, the word bit, b i t, is 
written, not the other word.

Is that! not just totally! bizarre?  If you don't believe me with this, and 
think I'm only writing this for attention, then, here's your proof:

Hi Bill. I'm using an identical configuration: 128-gig iPhone 6 with IOS 9.0.2, 
and default dialect set to U.S. English and using the Samantha default. I 
switched to Samantha Enhanced and the Siri female, then back to Samantha 
default, and everything sounded fine to me. Go figure. Not sure what to make of 
that.

that seems to be a Samantha problem. Alex, Female Siri and Siri Male don't slur 
the pronunciation the way Samantha does. So, since not all the US English 
voices have the issue there may be nothing Apple can do about it, the maker of 
the synthesizer would need to do something.

I have a 6+ and have noticed the same thing. I only see it was Samantha, but it 
is a nasty spelling for the letter B I think perhaps, because people were 
misunderstanding V and be so they tried it that way to make it obvious. But it 
sounds like she stuttering it sounds like shes stuttering.

Hello,
If the enhanced Samantha, she really got destroyed as of 9.2. I have had to 
change voices. I  could no longer do with her, even though I liked her before.

  Not sure if I agree, I never noticed this poor pronounciation of the upper 
case “b” as much as I do with iOS 9 and after all, Samantha prounces it fine 
when it’s lower case. I think it has to do with the fact they switched to 
Voiceover only saying “Cap” and it’s the way it sounds together.

  Sieghard

  that seems to be a Samantha problem. Alex, Female Siri and Siri Male don't 
slur the pronunciation the way Samantha does. So, since not all the US English 
voices have the issue there may be nothing Apple can do about it, the maker of 
the synthesizer would need to do something.

This happens whether I'm in the CONTACTS and perusing each capitol letter, 
checking the spelling of a word character by character or any other endeavor 
where the "B" should be pronounced "Cap B."

 

I will add, this also happens with the lower case "b" minus the "Cap" of 
course.

OK, first off, this is not the public beta.  I'm speaking of the 
official I O S build.  that being said, this does happen as well on the beta.  
I tested it.  Technically, I probably shouldn't be saying that, but anyway...

 

Try this for yourself.

 

1.  Switch your speech to the enhanced quality Symantha voice.  It's 
the only one where I'm seeing this occur.

 

2.  Type in the word "bit", b i t.  bit.  then, have it read back just 
the individual word.  Notice that it reads it correctly.

 

3.  Now however, do this.  Type in a full sentence and use the word 
"bit" b i t, in the middle of the sentence.  Make sure there's at least one 
word after it in the sentence.

 

Now mark?  Do not put me on moderator status here.  We are all? adults 
here.  OK?  I'm not cussing like in my last thread.  I'm quoting a bug here.  
I'm not trying to unprofessionally curse.  So, let's be mature about this!  I'm 
gonna be quite angry if you call me out on this publicly or not.  But 
seriously, you'll notice, instead of saying bit, it instead says, bitch!  b i t 
c h.  Like a female dog.

 

Example:  I hope it explains things a bit differently, would actually 
come out as:  I hope it explains things a bitch differently.

 

If you read word by word though with your rotor, you'll notice that you 
did! spell things correctly, and that in all actuality, the word bit, b i t, is 
written, not the other word.

 

Is that! not just totally! bizarre?  If you don't believe me with this, 
and think I'm only writing this for attention, then, here's your proof:
