    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。

  • 日本語部分の発音がおかしくない?

    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。。
