Just a heads up, the robot voice pronounces the words like they were English words. Sometimes it’s sort of close to the right pronunciation, but a lot of times it’s way off, like here. “Fleißig”, “verzichten” and “Waage” are a couple other examples where the male voice gets it wrong.
Not on my devices. There are settings for this and there’s a number of German pronunciations available to Webspeech.

As usual with Apple, it’s an age old issue that they don’t give a shit about fixing.
What I do is for each example I am telling the browser explicitly what language it is, but it would be on brand for Apple to just ignore that.
