I would really really like to avoid having to do my own dictionary. But I am glad it is working for you. For my use, I would really need something a bit closer to native than where we are right now. But maybe we get there, or maybe Dreamtonics will actually commission a native German speaker voice…
Yeah, I think they definitely should hire native speakers for specific languages (German, French, and maybe Italian too). Or, as I already suggested them (but they didn’t reply), ask for advice to native speakers in the users community !

Some improvements can be achieved using the gender parameter.
For instance, it can be used to make the “ch” sound in words like “ich” brighter, and the “ch” in words like “brauche” correspondingly harsher.
I also make extensive use of the option to adjust phoneme durations. This yields results quite quickly, and by now, I know almost intuitively in which direction to shift the dividing line.
For the following example, I used Kevin 2. Apart from the visible green changes, I left all the original voice settings as they were.
