Thanks for your feedback.
For now, we think our current voice model (provided by Azure) is the best available option all things considered. There are important considerations in addition to human-like delivery (e.g. cost, speed, reliability, fine-grained control).
I’m quite surprised that an overall-much-better option hasn’t emerged before now. My guess is that something will show up later in 2024. When it does, we will migrate.
