I've tried messing with the text to speech feature in 8.1. I'm able to get it to work except the driver's name is replaced with "X needs fuel" instead of "(Drivers Name) needs fuel" Am I doing something wrong?

Hey Rick,

did you make sure to put the %s into the custom string and it still doesn't work?

Yes,  I typed   %s needs fuel!   

See attached

I tried with and without the %s .

Also if I press the arrow to hear the replay, should I hear Unassigned or X for the drivers name?

I tried this on two different iPads both with iOS 26.5

Thank you Rick, will be fixed in 8.1.1

Workaround until then: Don't "preview" the custom sound in the custom sound dialog :-)
