Read Aloud: More monthly Premium voice time

Zotero Team
We've greatly increased the amount of monthly Premium voice time available to Read Aloud users with a Zotero Storage subscription. For now, all paid plans get 20 hours a month of listening with most Premium voices. Certain voices have a lower limit of about 4.5 hours, though we're keeping the 20-hour limit for languages where there aren't other voices available.
The monthly limits will reset on November 1 (UTC) and every month going forward.
We may adjust these limits as we evaluate usage, but we hope to be able to offer a significant amount of monthly Premium voice time to subscribers. All paid plans continue to include unlimited Standard voice time.
If you'd like to add a subscription, you can do so from your storage settings.
If you're a paying user and you exhaust your monthly allocation, email support@zotero.org to let us know. If there's sufficient demand for additional time above the monthly allocation, we'll look into making it possible to purchase more time (though you can also switch to Standard for the remainder of the month if there's a Standard voice for your language).

Upgrade Storage
I was wondering why the Zotero Premium voices (in fact also the Standard voices) are so much better than the local iOS voices? I downloaded various premium voices for iOS but none of them achieves a nearly as good quality as the Zotero voices... Any hope / chance that the local iOS voices will improve in terms of quality and compatibility with Zotero in the future?
