No sound ???

Tried everything… no sound

Produces sounds incorrectly

Example: the phonemes for “think” are not /th/, /i/, /n/, and /k/.
The app also sometimes produces vowels in a very clipped and auditorily distorted fashion.

Frustrated

I paid for the ability to create my own list but it doesn’t work because you can’t hear the recorded word. How do I get a refund?
