While doing my lessons I got the vocab for 責任 and is Kyoko pronouncing a different word here?
I’m hearing せきんいん/せきんひん instead of せきにん.

I’m no expert obviously, but it sounds like a different pitch accent to me. In this case Kenichi sounds wrong based on the pitch accent listed here.
I have not read the whole topic so this might be mentioned allready but I think the Kyoko audio for 幼年時代 is wrong, she says something like ねんしょうじだい.

Forgive me if this has been addressed elsewhere, but I think there really ought to be an option to cycle through the reading and/or voice actors with the J-hotkey.

I think for this one, as it is a primarily a suffix, it will likely affected by the word that precedes it. So maybe the pitch is not as obviously right, one way or the other?
Which is another argument why audio for example sentences is important…

Sentence audio sounds like a nightmare from a management perspective. Every time WaniKani has to change a sentence because someone finds a typo or other issue they’d have to remove/re-record the sentence audio or risk it getting out of sync. Bunpro is dealing with this now and it doesn’t seem pleasant.

Well then don’t make a typo to begin with

Many, many thanks 
Thanks! We’ve got it added
There is also a mistake with 還元 (kangen) that we added to the list. In the recordings, Kyoko says かんけん instead of かんげん.

Despite the mistakes I have to say kudos that you guys created computer-generated recordings that sound almost like human (Kyoko).
