Many accents (e.g. Australian) are non-rhotic, that is, many Rs are not voiced. That can cause issues for grammars designed by rhotic speakers (e.g. American), e.g. the default alphabet.
One user says:
As an aussie, my suggestions: don't be afraid to tweak the alphabet a little, I've especially benefitted from
air
->amy
. also add custom versions of commands that aren't getting detected well, but so far my issues are moreso in "say xyz" than other commands. sometimes I give up and say a troublesome word in an american accent but this is super frustrating :P
Another user who is "from near Oxford originally" shared these alphabet alterations:
b,bill
i,inch
p,pan
s,sure
w,will
