Cortana Voice lost?

[PimpBot5001]

Thanks for replying drvarunap. So far, you're the only other person I'm aware of currently encountering this problem. In my research I found instances of the problem from earlier in the summer, but nothing recent. If the problem was widespread I assume more people would be reporting it.

What I found strange is that when I first noticed the problem, Cortana would respond about half the time in Jen's voice...and the other half of the time in her robot voice. So she went through a stage of being partially broken for a day or so before fully breaking.

I tweeted windows phone support but they (presumably) don't support the developer preview, so they told me to report the problem here: winph.ms/yayyhh
I'll try to post the problem to that forum, but not sure if I'll get around to it today.

fyi Drvarunap: I've created a new thread on the Microsoft forum with a title of "Cortana speaking in robotic voice"
Windows Phone - Microsoft Community

Thanks pimpbot5001. I am quite annoyed with this problem. Its been a week and i tried everything to revive Cortana. But sigh.. Hopefully the problem is self rectifying.

No solution yet!!! Please someone come up with a solution! I even updated my phone with latest one.. But sigh..

It's hard to believe that you (drvarunap) and I are the only people who are having this problem...but so far I haven't been able to get anyone to confirm that they are having the problem. That being said, I can't get anyone to confirm that they aren't having the problem either...
I'd normally be tempted to try a hard reset, but I just did one about a month ago, so I don't want to do another one so soon. And besides, Cortana appears to be almost completely server based, so I can't imagine a hard reset would make a difference.
Over on Microsoft.answers.com, the moderator asked me a series of questions regarding phone settings. So, you could try posting your own settings on that forum. Not sure it will do any good...but it couldn't do any harm.
That's all I got...

Interesting...

Cortana sounding like herself now. I didn't do anything. Although she is sounding quite British now!

Cortana is once again sounding like her normal self for me as well . I didn't do anything either, so Microsoft presumably changed something on the server side.
