All roads including the name "Magothy" are being mispronounced.

Jane says "Ma_goth_e" but it should sound like "Mag_eth_e". Listen here: Proper Pronunciation

Lower Magothy Beach Rd
Old Magothy Bridge Rd
Magothy Bridge Rd
Magothy Rd

When 'N', 'S', 'E', or 'W' should NOT be pronounced as compass directions,
The global abbreviations wiki https://wiki.waze.com/wiki/Abbreviations_and_acronyms has
enclose the letter in single quotes.


The USA-specific wiki https://wiki.waze.com/wiki/Abbreviation ... ronyms/USA has
the letter should be followed with a . (period)
When in doubt, use the USA version if you live in the USA. The international wiki has a longer revision process that can cause some inaccuracies to persist. Plus there could be differences in the TTS engine by country.

Chickasha

Jane pronounces as "Chick-cash-uh"

Should be "Chick-a-shay" ('tʃɪk.ə.ʃeɪ)

Seems like "Amarillo" is being pronounced as "Aye-ma-reel-oh" instead of "Am-a-reel-oh".

IPA is /ˌæməˈrɪloʊ/

Denison is being pronounced as "D-y-son" instead of "Din-iss-son". Not sure of the IPA for this one.

The address is correct, however the pronunciation is completely wrong. My voice is set to "English (US) - Jane". "Dennison Lane" is being announced as "Niacin Lane".

'keeps saying Skelby instead of Shelby.'

I was using Jane also. Destination was somewhere in Forest City, NC. The only time the word Shelby was spoken was at the exit.

Problem with Airpark Dr in Redding, CA - it sounds like Airpok Dr in the App. You can also hear it said incorrectly in WME.

Here's a broken pronounciation:

Street name is "Riley Ridge" should be abbreviated "Riley Rdg" but TTS says Arr Dee Gee.
