I have also found some weird pronunciations. I do get gun as g u n when I am 
reading in safari, and I just put it in a note and got the g u n.

 

For me in the Blindfold games the word re-sume  is pronounced as resume—like 
what you do to find a job. It does it in notes, too. Also in the games the word 
exposed is pronounced as ex-posed with the emphasis on the “ex.” It wasn’t like 
this before 13.2. I am using Samantha the regular.

 

Very strange!

OK, good to know.

Any particular book where that punctuation weirdness happens?

 

I almost always use Amy from Ivona with Voice Dream, which is the British 
female voice, so maybe this too is an American English voice issue?

Richard,

 

Yes, that one is for Voiceover generally. The other one, where certain 
punctuation is pronounced "to the power of" appears to be exclusive to 
VoiceDream. I haven't tried a non-iOS voice to see what happens yet..

For me, the issue with the word gun, is not isolated to Voice Dream Reader.

It is anywhere using US English voices.

I just tested it in the Notes app using Tom Enhanced and the word gun is 
pronounced g u n.

 

This was on my Work phone running iOS 13.2.2.

It does appear only to happen in VoiceDream and not other apps. Hopefully 
Winston can get to the bottom of it.

Kelby,

 

I got that to the power of when reading a Bookshare book with Voice Dream 
Reader using Samantha enhanced under iOS 13.2. I was never able to figure out 
what text was causing the "to the power of" words to be spoken since those 
words weren't present. When I switched to another voice in voice Dream, the 
problem seemed not nearly as bad although that might have been due to the 
absence of the offending punctuation in that section.

 

Thanks for identifying the source of the strange pronunciation.

Thanks. Are you having the issue where Voiceover sometimes pronounces certain 
punctuation as "to the power of"? It seems to happen with certain types of 
quotation marks and hyphens.

 Yes. The fix until someone gets their act together, is to go into the 
VoiceOver Speech, pronunciations and add gun, the word, which US English voices 
say g u n, and enter the substitution gunn, which has two n's. 

I just did that and now gun is said correctly.

This for sure started with iOS 13.

Is anyone else noticing VO pronouncing the word gun as g-u"N, three separate
