i'm curious to see how much it mispronounces words like earlier iterations from different projects did.
I’d honestly probably be less annoyed by a machine mispronouncing words than I am when a human reader does it..
I know I shouldn’t be annoyed because language is difficult and not everyone has heard every word.. but you’d think they would, like, check instead of saying something wrong 1,000 times (especially since the books I listen to are mostly science communication and science history)
