Whenever there's a dash (─) or a hyphen (-) in a sentence the voice seems to act as if there's no pause between the words. It acts as opposite to what the intended cadence is.

For example, this sentence: "Only then will it─and our order─be restored to its former glory."

It should act more as if there were a comma (,). Maybe it's possible on an extension level to replace it with a comma or something else to fix it?

Or in a hyphenated word: Ifrit-Egi
Here it should read it as if there was no hyphen.

Edit: On further inspection, it seems not all voices do this. Azure en-US AndrewNeural for example seems to work fine.
Edit 2: I just realized that this might be the Remove Stutter from NPC dialog option's function? If so, It's not immediately apparent that's what it does.

(Late reply, never noticed this issue)

The stutter option only removes brief, hyphenated character chunks, it shouldn't change the cadence of a sentence. That sounds more like a voice-specific issue, especially considering that it's not consistent across voices. Every TTS voice will treat the same words slightly differently, especially when it comes to tone and cadence.

Marking as a bug for now anyways
