The town of Paola KS is being pronounced "Pow-la". It should be pronounced "Pay-Oh-la".

Referenced in this UR.

S Crysler Ave should be pronounced "Chriss-ler". It's being pronounced like the auto manufacturer, Chrysler.

Cord is what I will be wrapping around my neck if we go a second month with no map updates in NA.

A second month??? We're almost 3/4 of the way through the second month!

I don't remember the details, but just wanted to point that out if you see slightly different pronunciation in different cases. It could be the case or it could be cached data.
Entering cc@tts into waze's search will clear the tts cache.

It's all my phone's fault for using Tapatalk.
I have been thinking about adding the known codes into the Wiki. I started collecting what I could find in the forums. I can create the Wiki page (unless someone knows it is there and I missed it) and add what I have found so far.

I was wrong. I usually have to have the TTS off when my wife is in the car so she does not get too annoyed being reminded about the hundreds of hours I spend on Waze instead of her. :oops:

What I was hearing was really "EAST", but the "AST" portion was so quiet that the road noise drown it out.

I did notice that "W"s sound a little compressed. When I hear "Washington" it is as if I only hear the second portion of the "W" or maybe a bit of the middle of the letter's sound is missing.

I will try to update the TTS file with the code above and check it again.
