TTS is one of those things that grates with me... pronunciation doesn't seem consistent and sometimes it seems to get overexcited and almost shout some names or read them out in a higher tone than normal.


Yes, I've noticed that. It's supposed to adjust the volume to cater for what it thinks is the level of background noise - but on occasion it seems to think the interior of the car is a lot noisier than it actually is. I can't fathom any consistent patterm to this behaviour.

Going back home towards Hull it pronounces it more like "Hole". Some would agree that's quite appropriate Wink

The biggest issue I find is cutting off words and instructions, very irritating and forces you to take your eyes off the road sometimes to try and work our what it was trying to tell you!


Hmmm... can't say I've noticed that behaviour on mine....?
