The read-aloud voice used to be a very smooth speaking female voice and overnight it changed to a robotic voice. When I go into the settings it says I have to be signed in to change the voice. I am signed in. I tried signing out and resigning in deleting the app and reinstalling but it still says the same thing. I am using an Android with the mobile app. I was originally using just the word doc connected to my OneDrive I've even tried the Microsoft 365 app still same results. How do I get the old voice back?

2025-03-11T23:38:41+00:00 I broke down today and was listening to the robotic voice read to me I placed it on hold for a little bit and when I came back to it the old voice was back. Nice free flowing female voice with emotion. I don't know if it will still be there the next time I go back to listen but I am hoping they resolved this. Fingers crossed
