Hi, I'm pretty patient with funny synthesizer pronunciations, but am really surprised by one I just ran across using Samantha, given that this is Apple's primary voice. Whether on the calendar or in the body of emails, (the two places I've run into this so far), Samantha is pronouncing "Day" in New Year's Day in some drawn out weird way. It does not do it on Christmas Day or Labor Day. I recall noticing the problem also with "Good Friday", so created a pronunciation correction for that a while ago. Only Samantha and Samantha Enhanced do it, I've changed to the Siri female and Fred voices and the problem goes away. Are you as surprised s I am on this? Any idea what the synthesizer could possibly be trying to say?
Running IOS 14.2 on an SE 202, but the Good Friday thing was present when on my old 6S with versions of IOS 13. Robin -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
