MN4: Speech does not support system voices (iOS & MacOS)

Support Mac Trouble
1

Hi,

I am hugely impressed by MN4 overall. However, it has a significant issue with text to speech voices.

In MN3, the voice set under Spoken Content was used in MarginNote as well. But in MN4, the voice is always the robotic female English voice. The behavior is the same in iOS and MacOS.

This is a big user experience obstacle. Could you please verify if it is reproducible for you, and address the bug?

Kind regards

Thank you for your usage and feedback, and I will relay it to the developers.

Hello.
I’d like to know how you activated the speech voice function. We think that the spoken content systems invoked by different operations might be different.
Best regards,
MN Support Team

Hi. I simply selected a card in study mode and then the “Speech” button.

For me, the described behavior has been consistent at all times since starting to use MN4.

If I can try specific steps or if you need more information, please let me know.

Were you able to reproduce this bug @Adeline ?

We sincerely apologize for the delay and truly appreciate your patience. At present, MN only supports this specific audio, but please rest assured that our team is actively working on improvements. We will make every effort to expand the audio options and will promptly notify you as soon as any updates are available.

Voice selection for text to speech function actually works correctly on MarginNote 3 across devices. I can’t believe it is not fixable.

MN4 is great and clearly a huge step forward compared to MN3, but this is a very unfortunate regression.
