The road segment Bennetts Creek Park Rd is being mispronounced. They cleared their TTS cache and it still mispronounces it. The WME editor road segment name microphone test sounds it out properly.


PL

Should be pronounced Ben nets Creek Park Road
Currently Sounds like Bee eye nets Creek Park Road according to reporter.

Here is the UR PL

Using Jane / US English

Says: "Grow-ton" (long o)

Should be: "Graat-n" (like potatoes au gratin; example:

Example segment: https://www.waze.com/en-US/editor?env=u ... s=66203498 (it is a town name, and also a street name in many communities. I believe the town in Connecticut is also pronounced the same way.)

Thanks,

Seems a bit different than the way it is pronounced in CT. More like Gra ton (short a sound). Either way the Grow ton is wrong, but sounds like someone will get a bad pronunciation in the end.... :shock:

A few new proposed Jane corrections:
(1) CH-II https://goo.gl/tM4bn7 should be pronounced "county highway eye eye" instead of "county highway two"
(2) Oneida https://goo.gl/8iYNMV should be pronounced "Oh nye dah" (http://goo.gl/74kPmK) instead of "Oh nee dah"
(3) Lombardi https://goo.gl/xbM6Ng should be pronounced with an "r" sound "lom bar dee" instead of "lom bah dee"

Three TTS issues on this road ( https://goo.gl/Df52vu):
(1) Abbreviation "Ft" should be pronounced "fort" - Jane is currently pronouncing as "fourth"
(2) Pronunciation of "Howard" sounds be "How-urd" - Jane is currently pronouncing as something that sounds like "Ourd"
(3) The town name, "De Pere" should be pronounced "Duh Peer" (http://goo.gl/W8JvgW) - Jane is currently pronouncing as "Duh Purr"

Tested Samantha on a couple of exits on I-70 in MD and she enunciated Maryland with a pause afterward for me as well.

But Tom would not enunciate any exits with MD in the string. All I received was "In [distance], exit right."
