I was driving from southbound on the Dan Ryan (90, 94) and exited onto the Stevenson (55) and noticed that the voice over said “Street Louis” instead of “Saint Louis”. Also, Cermak road was pronounced “CHER-mak” instead of “SIR-mak” as I’m used to.
TTS errors aren’t exactly new though, and ‘street vs saint’ came up on the UK board:

They didn’t really have a solution, so I guess this is just an FYI.
Was this today? I have been going through and checking ramp names. I know I caught one where there wasn’t a period after St so TTS pronounces it as Saint. I go thru and double check the names.
St=Street
St.=Saint
This was last week
Ok, I’ll double check, I may have gotten it already. Thanks
I got “Bay St. Louis” to work with the period in the St.
However, It pronounces Louis as “LOU-ee”. For some reason, it seems to favor French pronunciations of everything.
