When Readlang pronounces Russian in text I have imported myself (maybe in library text generally), it exhibits some oddities that don’t show up when reading text directly in the browser:
- the soft sign at the end of words, instead of softening the preceding consonant, it literally pronounces the letter as “мягкий знак” (this is the most consistent oddity)
- I have also heard it sometimes mispronounce the “г” as in “нового” (should sound like the Russian “в” instead of a “г”
- and the stress is often wrongly placed as in “этого” but that seems to be true for both reading library text and the original article
