@amir @NVAccess but... espeak NG has problems with consonants and this feature, the consonants affected are p and s. Only espeak has the problem with it, along with newfon

@asael @NVAccess Honestly - and I'm really picky, I can't grasp the problems. For me they are pronounced as before - maybe a tad less emphasized, but totally understandable.

@amir @NVAccess I also hear it less emphasized, but that's because our ears are young.

@asael @NVAccess Hmm. Yes, I just noticed it. Beeps are cut at the beginning. But it doesn't happen all beeps, and not in all contexts.

@amir @NVAccess Update! the leading silence fix was landed in the form of pull request and it works!

@asael @NVAccess Yey! this pull request fixes all mentioned issues. This is such a great enhancement that I can't imagine going back to older alphas or official releases. https://github.com/nvaccess/nvda/pull/17699

@amir @asael @NVAccess The average user isn't going to reconfigure the silence threshold when their synth isn't pronouncing something correctly. I think if it were going to be configurable, it'd need to be disabled by default. But hopefully there's a better default threshold that can be used which would avoid this.

@jcsteh @amir @asael Thanks everyone for all the great feedback on this (note that GitHub is the best place for feedback, but we won't ignore feedback here if we see it (noting that in some cases - such as this - NV Access may not be the author of a PR - so do keep reporting things on GitHub - in any case, this one is being worked on, so do keep on the lookout for improvements in future builds. Thanks again!
