Natural Voices in iOS Text to Speech Not Working

[raynergit]

Hi there, I'm reopening this item as I had accidentally closed it previously, but there are several users encountering this issue.

From another user, saeedsmaili: "Same issue here for more than a week. Maybe we should open another issue if we can't re-open this one."

Confirming this issue (it's a follow up from #4416 with other users reporting the same issue).

I'm actually getting headache listening to the other tts voices in the app (which aren't as realistic but don't have this issue).

I have the same issue with natural voices :(

The voice not working for me is Shimmer.

I commented on the other thread, but the issue persists. The natural voices don't work for me either. I get load errors trying to read the articles.

Same issue here!!! We can support with something technically? I really like the app

I wonder if it's this dependency which needs updating? #4434

I don't think so, since the voices with this issue (i.e Nova, Shimmer, etc) belong to OpenAI, not Microsoft (but I might be wrong, and maybe Omnivore is using the OpenAI TTS service on Microsoft Azure). How can we make sure the developers of the project are aware of this issue?
