Sounds quite good, but this prompt is NOT what I'd expect an automated system to feed into it:

“I’ve successfully processed your order and I’d like to confirm your product ID. It is A as in Alpha, 1, 2, 3, B as in Bravo, 5, 6, 7, Z as in Zulu, 8, 9, 0, X as in X-ray.“

Phone numbers and others were read nicely, but apparently a string of alphanumerics for an order number aren't handled well yet.

Sorry, Do you mean to the audio for this text is not good?

I thought this was included in the demo, it seemed okay!

No, the audio was OK or even good. The example seems to be an automated response from some system where a human has just placed an order. The order number is A123B567Z890X but if we want our system to "read back" the order number we apparently have to specially format the text. I suppose for the clarifying stuff "Alpha Bravo" that's a good idea, but separating digits and all those commas?
