Richard,

 

I can confirm I'm getting the same results for the pronunciation of gun that 
you just described. I wasn't in Voice Dream when Samantha enhanced spelled g u 
n for its pronunciation on my iPhone 8 running iOS 13.2.2.

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 
letters? Very very weird, and not sure how to fix it.
