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.

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.

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.

Reply-To: macvisionar...@googlegroups.com <mailto:macvisionar...@googlegroups.com> 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: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/16962268/mispronunciation.mp3 Chris. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
