Question on questions

Question

Hi,

I've noticed that in about 50% of the voices asking a question has no effect on the voice. In the example bellow I have used all English voices to have each voice say the same sentence with and without a question mark. The problem is mainy in the last word before the question mark. We've tried correcting the problem with the intonation editor but that is in most cases very difficult to do.

Please report the issue to the appropriate teams. I have pasted the SSML below for your convenience.

Thanks,

Thats for the help. Your results for custom intonantion are the same as mine. In some cases it works quite well in some cases not. But ofcourse it would be best for this to happen automatically whena questionmark is added.
