Same here. I have not the least clue when it comes to linguistics, but my Mandarin listening is decent and I also asked my gf again and she confirms: the 是 of gTranslate 朗读 is just fine. Either you guys come from a totally linguistic background so that you can hear differences in the pronunciation that me and my gf can't distinguish, or you're hearing something that isn't there.. ^^
