English (UK) accent in Text-to-Avatar just serves up US accent.

In trying to create a Text-to-Avatar video, the 'English (UK)' accent selection just gives a US English accent, either identical or 99% the same. Is this just a bug in beta or is there a work-around to get this UK accent working? All other languages/accents seem to be working even the Indian English.

This really needs to be fixed asap. I created a 30 second test costing me about 300 credits but was very disappointed to find that the UK option renders in a US accent.

Community Manager - when will this be fixed please?

Please fix the English UK accent, it just uses the US accent model.

Great addition to the overall portfolio in Firefly; however, for whatever reason, the past option doesn't work, and I can only type or upload my text.  Also, it would be helpful to have a British accent for English as a voice choice.

Hi Rosalynne31586704n3z5!

Thanks for writing in. Could you share a screenshot which is the past option in the generate speech? I'm merging your thread here about the UK accent.

 

Let us know.

I changed the setting to English UK accent but my video (costing 3650 credits!!!) was returned with US accent! That's basically theft. There is clearly a bug that caused this, but I need my credits returned too.

Yes, same although mine was just a test so used fewer credits. It’s a shame this still isn’t fixed. It would otherwise have been a perfect solution for our need but cannot use if it’s a US accent.

Text to avatar audio just serves up US accent. I want to use Spanish (Argentina) and English (UK). You can only use US accent
