Sorry, but people in the United states do not say “aboot” unless they happen to live very close to the Canadian border. I’m not sure why that is, but the vast majority of people here in the U.S. say about, not aboot.
IN fact, most U.S. natives make fun of the Canadians for saying aboot.

I was chatting with someone from New Zealand and she told me some of her compatriots were mimicking the U S accent. Thus it is not just the screen reader voices, it is Different nations voices. Example, apparently Canadians and United States persons say aboot instead of about, according to the woman in N Z.
