With English and other thai sentences I didn't have any problem here,
Hi Zolo,
Thank you for the comment. We found that Thai sentence doesn't have the audio, so we'll record it soon. But the English sample sentence and its audio file are working fine. Could you check and let us know if you still have the technical issue?
Thank you,
