Hi,
I have an iPhhone 8 and my default voice is Samantha the regular not enhanced. It says "yestertay" instead of "yesterday." This morning for kicks I tried the Siri female voice and Susan Enhanced, and "yesterday" was still pronounced "yestertay." So I am concluding that it doesn't matter what voice you use, this must be some basic algorithm problem. Since it is annoying, I just might have to give in and change the ⠏⠗⠕⠝⠥⠝⠉⠊⠠⠝⠲ Oh well!
Take care!

--I have a theory, then I’ll tell you how to fix it if you still need to.
If the default voice under VoiceOver Speech is a Siri voice, try changing it to something else and see if that fixes it.
You may also want to change the Siri Language under Siri Settings to something other than American English. Not sure if that matters, but that was a work around to get rid of the stupid transcriptions on voice mail.
If it still mispronounces yesterday, go to the VoiceOver Speech settings, pronunciation.
Add yesterday spelled correctly and in the substitution edit field, spell it with u r instead of e r so yesturday
I also make sure it is set to apply to all languages.

I don’t know why Voice-over pronounces Yesterday. How do you fix it. Surly, Apple must be awar of this and will fix it.

I noticed it with the default Samantha bvoice also. I changed the spelling in pronounciation and it solved the problem.

I know pronunciation issues are miniscule with everything going on now but I'm curious why Voiceover seems to have problems with the pronunciation of certain words after iOS upgrades. I upgraded to iOS 13.4 yesterday on my iPhone 8 and I notice that the last syllable of the word yesterday is now pronounced as if it begins with the letter t instead of with the letter d. I'm getting this same mispronunciation with both Samantha enhanced and Tom enhanced and am curious if others are also experiencing it. I was reviewing a list of recent app upgrades in the App Store and they are tagged with the upgrade day and I got tired of hearing yesterday pronounced as yesterTay.
Thanks for any confirmation of this mispronunciation issue.
