Better do not listen to it too much - otherwise I will for always have this kind of NAW-FLERR pronounciation in my head!!! Just imagine Paul Crockford on the next tour, "Ladies & Gentlemen, pleeeeeez welcome back to London --- MAAARK NAAAAW-FLERRRRR

Just watched the link, didn't bother to check the YouTube site - what's the idea behind this? Making print available for sightless people? I that case, it would still be funny (for us) but a good cause and finally a decent use of the internet...

Yes true Vgonis. It just sounds funny to native English speaking ears. 8)

Post by: vgonis on October 25, 2012, 09:25:03 AM: I can imagine!!! Yet for a computer program it must be way advanced. I would have expected a Stephen Hawkins voice with flat pitch, while actually this one has round vowels and a pretty voice (male and female). And even the names are spelled more or less correctly, which is a bit difficult for a program.
