AI音声の読み上げなので、日本の固有名詞の発音には違和感あり。アオキ(エイオウキー)、茨城(アイバラキ)、西武(サイブ)、JR東海(ジュニア トウケイ)、KAZU−Ⅰ(カズアイ)、兵庫(ハイヨゴ)など。
めっちゃAI音声、しかも不自然。AIでも今の時代だから良いとしても、もうちょっと自然にならんのか。
もう終了したのかもしれませんが、生まれつきのバイリンガルではない英語話者の英語が聴ける「英語で取材」コーナーがめちゃ気に入っているので、別チャンネルとして立ち上げを希望します。
英語に耳を慣らすために聞いてます!役に立ってます!
自動生成されている音声だからなのか、日本語部分の発音がおかしい時が多い。「ハイエヨゴ」と言われ何だかわからなかったのでニュースのタイトル見たら「兵庫」だったり😅hyで始まるから確かに英語読みではハイだけど、実際ハイエヨゴとは発音されない!笑
とにかく日本語の部分が英語の発音パターンになって、地名や人名がわからないことが多く、聞くのやめてしまいました。。
