Using iphone, latest iOS, Jane voice.

The city of "Siloam Springs" (AR) pronounces as Si Loam, with "Si" sound as in silver. Should pronounce with the "Si" as in "silo".

Have the following items in DC area for consideration:

1) Tyson's Corner comes out at Thigh - sons Corner, PL https://www.waze.com/editor/?env=usa&lo ... s=70969103

2) Verizon Center is Ver is son Center - PL https://www.waze.com/editor/?env=usa&lo ... s=65055377

3) Fort Belvoir is Fort Bel-ver PL https://www.waze.com/editor/?env=usa&lo ... s=52837256

Thanks in advance. subs5

PesachZ,
Tyson's is tie-sons like the chicken in the grocery store

Verizon is like the commercial can you hear me? Ver eye zon

Belvoir is the french words Belle and voir or Bell vwaʀ. Here is link to the french dictionary for voir here

Thanks

UR for Triage's post above
it should be "wee - lee" not wheel - e.

Dranesville, VA
Road: Wiehle Ave

Expected pronunciation: Wheel lee
current Jane pronunciation Wheel

PL

Note the UR has the wrong one listed it is not Wheel wee.

Bladensburg, MD
Road Name Bladensburg Rd

Expected pronunciation: Blay dens burg
Current Jane pronunciation Blah dens burg

PL


Sight of the Battle of Bladensburg or the Bladensburg Races since the British soundly beat the American forces on their way to burn Washington DC back in Aug 1814.

Mispronunciation of "Cipriano" Road (MD).

Noted in turn instructions to this segment
Road Name: "Cipriano Rd"

TTS: "chip-ri-ano"
Correct pronunciation: "sip-ri-ano" (Cip is sip as in drink, not chip as into potato chip)

It sounds correct in WME but user reported it being incorrect.
Reporter replied they were using female British voice in iOS, did not respond with the version although queried. I mentioned that Jane is the US voice for pronunciations.

This "I of XX" has appeared sporadically in Northern Virginia/DC/Maryland area. Users who reported the problem have said that clearing the TTS has fixed it after being told how to do that.

Could we get a TTS team ruling on "Pike"?

The general wiki for Waze Abbreviations lists it can be abbreviated as "Pke". I have tested it and Jane seems to work for that abbreviation.

The USA Abbreviation wiki list does not mention it.

Yes I know it saves a whole skinny "i" in the app, but I have run across some places where the street naming continuity is lacking so just seeing if it can be clarified for wiki continuity. Thanks

If I am correct Turnpike is abbreviated Tpk
