What voice are you using?
Have you cleared your TTS cache recently?
Are you able to share the actual TTS file from your device?

Theoretically yes it can be changed, but the change will affect the entire country anywhere that word is used. Therefore we must first know if this is something pronounced differently in different regions.

Is there a method for doing this? I see there's a Bradenton Rd in Indiana, Bradenton Ave in OH, for example. No idea how it's said there, though.

Thx
Trying to all the locals, you should be able to find some editors from those areas to ask.

IAW, "N Main St" is pronounced alled "N" Main Street", not "North Main Street".

Sorry if it's posted elsewhere and I've just missed it.
This seems to be a very recent development affecting ALL cardinals in a name. We are aware of, and working on it now. Thanks.

Can you give us a permalink to the exact segment causing this failure?

The double letter direction (SW) we are looking into now, but the single letter Cardinal directions have all been working for us in testing and on my drives. Perhaps you need to clear your local tts cache and see it it is still happening. Search on you app as if searching for a destination. Type in cc@tts and press search. If it still is happening after that please send us the exact location where it happens so we can try to reproduce it.

https://www.waze.com/editor/?env=usa&lo ... s=83508873
called "Dr. Martin Luther King Jr St S"

I see that Jr probably needs a period, but why would Dr. say drive?

They were turning right to go north on that segment, and they said it was the default voice.
There was an issue which we fixed, when was the report from.
Tell the reporter to navigate to cc@tts, and it should work properly after that.

It was from June 24. I will provite that fix to them. Thx
It was actually fixed on Jun 23rd, but the user could have already had the bad file cached in their app.
Thank you.

If it still happens after.clearing the cache please let us know.

When I test it (only in certain contexts) the ho get swallowed so flag-hole instead sounds like flag-ole with a short o. I'll forward it to the devs, the engine may need to be updated.
