Is there any way to get Waze to pronounce "HOV" as individual letters instead of as "hove"?
According to this UR, "SR286" (no punctuation) is being pronounced as "Senior 286". This is a misformatting of the road name, which I've fixed, but it is the type of error that might pop up multiple places.

1. The USPS abbreviation "Grn" is being spelled out G-R-N by Jane, instead of being pronounced "Green".
2. The name "Farrcroft" (name of several streets in my neighborhood) is being pronounced as "Faircroft"; the first syllable should sound like the word "Far".

The old "eye of" issue seems to be back. Last night, on a route that used this ramp, Jane instructed me to "Exit right to Eye of 66 West".

I don't see "Colonel" on the Jane wiki. I assume it's abbreviated "Col".

Conshohocken (Con-sho-hocken) is now pronounced Conshilstocken or something unintelligible. Used to pronounce correctly. Road with that name here.

This is the thread for reporting TTS issues like this. It's not something a user can fix themselves.

Use the default TTS rules if no values are provided, and show the expanded value. And if "customize TTS" or some other checkbox is selected, allow the map editor to put in plain English (or their language of choice) into the TTS box. E.g.:
Label: Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. St N
TTS: Doctor Martin Luther King Junior Street North
Label: N St.
TTS: N Street
Label: Geo Wash Pkwy
TTS: George Washington Parkway
This way the label can match the sign, but the editor can fix the TTS if we see the default isn't correct.
In another life, I dealt with TTS quite a bit. The idea of a 'TTS override' field is very common.
The first field should match the street signs as closely as possible, and be visible in the UI. the TTS field should default to empty, and only be filled in if the spoken TTS is wrong or pronounces something oddly. For instance, barberton OH is pronounced like barber-ton (think haircuts) but many TTS engines will pronouns it bar-burton (with the 'Berton' part emphasized for some reason.)
Anyway, +1 for the TTS override field.
