TomTom Mobile Voice - strange pronunciation!

[canderson]

Ahhh. I remember what I did. I went Into Tomtom labs and enabled TTS vouce

Somehow had missed that option! Using that, I also picked up a couple of the voices that come with Android. Using an S20 here.

For me, here in the U.S., it added
en-US-default (English US)
en-US-SMTI03 (English US)
es-US-default (Spanish US)
es-US-SMTf00 (Spanish US)

Will have to give those a try and see how they sound.

Well spotted, I am an Iphone user but do have an old Android phone so checked this out. I downloaded the Beta Go App and enabled the TTS voices.

I am based in the UK and got a much larger choice of voices ( not sure of the differences between local and Network?) as you can see from the screenshots below. I tried the en-GB-language voice and the strange pronunciations seem to have disappeared.

Just got to be "very" patient and wait for TomTom to correct this on the iPhone version of the App............ Or migrate to use an Android phone for the TomTom app????

For me these new Google voices in the TomTom app are a big improvement. They sound much more natural and have better pronunciation. At least in Dutch and English.

On my S8 they are way too fast.
