Change or improve the voice for speech output
Note
Wokabulary cannot make use of the Siri voices as Apple does not allow other apps to access these.Make sure to download a Premium (best) or Enhanced (second best) voice for the language you want to learn.
Using high-quality voices
The speech output in the Quiz by default uses the default system voice for the selected language. macOS and iOS come with pre-installed voices for all languages. However, these are generally low quality to save disk space.
In the System Settings you can install high definition voices for each language.
