    I complained about this several months ago when Kate's voice began having phrases replaced by a MALE voice. The quantity of phrase replacement finally ended with all of English Kate being replaced by what sounds to me very much like a man. It's pronunciations are all wrong. "Spook Hill" is pronounced like in book. "Parsonage Road" is "Parsonarje" like the posher way of saying "garage". So many annoyances plus HE (you cannot tell me that's a woman's voice) has a horrid glottal stop and sometimes tells me to make a U-turn when it's a right turn at a roundabout! I've been complaining that lovely Kate has been trans-gendered into a man! Waze staff simply don't believe me and give no hoots. I was given instructions to reset the voice but it makes no difference. Uninstalled and re-installed and have tried this on three different Android phones now and all have the same male sounding voice for English Kate UK. I just can't listen to him/her/it anymore
