I noticed something with some of the POI files that I have downloaded from this site.
When the name of the POI, or other information, is in all caps, TTS voices doesn't pronounce the name correctly.
I know it might be a lot of work to correct all the files that are currently on this site, but going forward, lets turn off caps lock.
I really noticed this when using the the TTS editor, and trying to get it to pronounce things correctly.
Upper case characters are pronounced whith a long sound i.e. "I" is pronounced "eye"
and "i" is pronounced "ih", and so on.
Just my two cents.........
Weird and inconsistent pronounciation

I've noticed that, at least with Jack, "I" street in Sacramento is always pronounced as "ih" street. I missed a turn the first time because I thought it was saying "S" street.
When I went to the town of Lakeport, Jack pronounced it weird "most" of the time but not always. It was really weird. Approaching the town he pronounced it "lack-eh-port". When I was prompted to exit the highway he correctly told me to take "lakeport" blvd. Then when I arrived at my destination he said I was arriving at "lake-eh-port" office. What's up with that?
