Premium Read Aloud mispronounces 'literature' and 'systems' across all voices.

lindsayrs
I've just bought the Premium sub so I could get better read aloud features and to make it more reliable. However the first pdf I open to read it is mispronouncing words. I've already used PDF24 to rebuild the OCR text layer and that all premium voices still split the words. I'm not sure where to go from here cause I bought this for accessibility and its just frustrated me more and wasted my time trying to find a fix without any luck. Please help!

    If you copy the sentence in Zotero and paste it somewhere, do "literature" and "systems" show up without any spaces or hyphens? If you're getting this across all voices, this is very likely to be a problem with your OCR text layer, not with the voices.

    well, that possibly could be the issue but I used adobe and pdf24 to rebuild the OCR layer and both times it did not work.
    I just tried to upload a pdf with those words that I made from word docs, making sure it was exported correctly with the font in times new roman, and turning off tracking changes. the read aloud wouldn't load at all for some reason. So I'm not sure how to test if the pdf is the issue or not.

    I gave a suggestion — copying and pasting the text.

    You can also email the PDF to support@zotero.org with a link to this thread.
