I can’t understand why, but the fact is that two “female voices” pronounce in “perfect” British and American english the text I use in my Windows version of my App, but when I try it in the macbook (Ventura OS), it is a “male voice” for the British version and a hoarse and weak, almost unintelligible voice for the American pronunciation. Is there any reason why? Do any of you have the same problem? ---

I’m having a similar issue with text to speech using an API but it’s in inconsistent; sometimes it’s full volume and sometimes it’s very quiet. Which blocks are you using? ---
