It's reproducible for me in Google Now on my phone (Galaxy Nexus), but not in Google Translate.

Google Now is using a female American voice, but with low quality emphasis. Google Translate is using a male UK voice, with much better emphasis. I don't know how to configure each to choose which voice.

The Google Translate link in a comment elsewhere, that forces the American pronunciation (and high quality emphasis), reproduces it. The default, UK pronunciation, does not.

Seems British English gets the male voice and this only happens to the US female voice.

To switch to the US voice, use this link: http://translate.google.com.mx/?hl=en

After using that, I got the female voice and it "worked".

I was able to reproduce this in Google Translate (as the bug pointed out).

It hasn't, change the resulting language to English and you'll see the issue is still occuring.

Still doesn't do it for me.

I think you'll need the female voice. No idea how to change that, though.

EDIT: Try the US version: http://translate.google.com.mx/?hl=en#auto/en/filled%20with

This doesn't work for me, unfortunately. I keep getting the male voice.

Still works.

this one works for me, tx.
