Pronunciation yo quepo

The yo example given sounds like quipo rather than quepo?   Is that generally how it is pronounced?  I noticed the yo is not standard and more like jo.   Are these regionally differences?

Hola Chris

We changed that specific audio as the automated voice wasn't pronouncing it correctly as you said. In "quepo" you should here the "e", not an "i". Also, the "y" in "yo" is normally pronounced as "io", but depending on the region and even in specific towns, they have a harder sound. Then, there's also the sound of the "sh" in "y" and "ll" in Argentina/Uruguay. 

I hope it clarified it.

Saludos cordiales
