Hi the Tom enhanced voice or the compact tom voice? From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of literophi...@myself.com Sent: Thursday, August 26, 2021 5:53 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: RE: the Alex voice Hi, my opinion may be helpful, at least to some extent, since I’m not a native speaker and English is a language I’ve learned as an adult. I used Alex for a couple of years on my iphone, but I noticed that at times it mispronounced some words, at other times I wasn’t able to understand it because the pronunciation, although close to an accurate pronunciation, was unconventional. So, now I use Tom, which from my perspective, is more understandable. 70 percent is my speaking rate. I believe that the high quality thing has nothing to do with this, and instead of that, there might be other possible explanations beyond the simplistic and simplifying cliché of saying that this is a subjective matter. In my computer, for instance, I love to use the Eloquence voice in English as well. Some friends of mine that are native speakers were surprised that I use Eloquence at a very high rate speed, and still being able to understand it. Best, Leo Bado.

And if so what made you select it over all the other voices that you can use on your iPhone? Also what is the speed rate you find that he reads the best where you can understand him? -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
