    Hi CarmenHufcut! I see that you reached out via chat and worked with my colleague, Robert, to resolve this issue. If you are still having trouble with text-to-speech, don't hesitate to reach out!

        Hi CarmenHufcut,

        Sorry to hear that you're still experiencing the issue. I let Robert, my colleague who is handling your support case, know that the behavior is still happening so he can continue troubleshooting it with you. You're in good hands, and we'll continue the conversation over in the support case!
