I'm intrigued, do you have examples of terms which are not understandable when read by a voice like this?

Great article Phil! I have heard slight mispronunciations at times in certain languages, but overall I think its amazing and such an underused feature of the web!.

I would always expect some mispronunciation, given that it is a computer generated voice. I have a couple of roads around my house that Google Maps directions cannot pronounce (they're not even that hard) and that keeps me amused.

It is a cool, and surprisingly well supported, feature. Thanks!
