Hello @heivoll , Thank you for the details! Could you please share your Character ID so we can investigate the issue? :blush:

@K3 Thank you for the quick response! It really goes for any character with Norwegian as language. But here is one: 557c3750-dfe4-11ef-a5dc-42010a7be016 Here’s a session with Norwegian: 9bec170a084c50ea086da95bb040a675

Another relevant point here; if this affects other languages as well, switching from v2 Multilingual to v2.5 Turbo should cut the ElevenLabs cost (credits usage) in half for all users, as well as decrease latency.

@K3 That seems to have fixed it! Thank you for the help :smile:

Glad to hear that solved your issue! If you run into any other questions or need further assistance, feel free to reach out. :blush:
