Clear Enhanced/Premium Voice

Is there a clear favorite for best voice on iOS to use to read books to you in Logos? I've noticed some voices I end up not really paying attention to what's being read, and am trying to decide which one helps me pay attention the most while I'm doing other tasks such as driving, going for a walk, working on things, etc.

The are all pretty lame in my experience. I am using an Australian IOS voice named Karen at the moment. I have to have it a little slower as it seems all the voices race on without recognising appropriate gaps. I am hoping that these voices improve in the near future with the implementation of AI on Apple devices. There are some incredible AI voices out there there in the wild.

This is an area I'd like to see Logos improve in.

Currently, with the exception of Bibles that you have a narrator for, it uses whatever the system voice is.

On my Android and on my tablet, their not bad. But on my PC (where I use Logos the most)? They are awful!

Microsoft does have some enhanced voices, but those only work using Edge, the system voice is still your choice from several very robotic sounding ones.

I have found a workaround in opening up the web version of Logos in Edge, and then using Microsoft's text to speech, and that lets me use the enhanced voices. But it's a bit clunky and not nearly as easy as using the main Logos program and clicking the speech button.

I would love to see Logos add some better options. I'm not sure how difficult that would be.
