AI voice library search results and 'sort' function
I'm not sure if I am missing something but I am confused by the results and sorting options when searching in the AI voice library.
As an example, I have searched for 'New Zealand' to find a voice with a Kiwi accent. Most of the results I get are completely unrelated to what I have searched for, showing dozens of voices - American, British, Danish, Portuguese etc. I have to scroll down the long list and hope I can visually catch the word 'New Zealand' somewhere, which has left me missing options each time.
This wouldn't be so bad if the sorting feature had an option for 'Most Relevant'. The only sorting options are: Latest, Trending, Most Used, and Most Characters Generated. Unfortunately, the latter three seem to favour American and British results, while the 'Latest' is no more helpful when the list still contains a majority of results unrelated to the search term.
I am wondering why the search function/sort feature does not prioritise results based on the actual keyword searched for? It seems like this should be possible?

You're right — currently, Articulate's AI Text-to-Speech has very limited features when it comes to voice filtering. I tried the same and couldn’t find any clear way to sort or directly select a specific accent like New Zealand
Hi JessicaHoskin and seema167! Thank you for your feedback! We don't currently offer a voice in a New Zealand accent, so that is likely why the results appear that way. The accents available right now are American, American (South), Australian, British, Irish, Italian, Swedish, and Transatlantic. I'm going to share with our Product Team that there is a need to add a New Zealand accent. I'll keep you updated in this discussion!
LaurenDuvall I have found several voices with NZ accents in the voice library and am using them in my projects right now. It's just not easy to find them using the search feature.
