What’s the funniest thing you’ve ever heard text to speech say/pronounce? (self.Blind)
submitted by callmeratqueen
Mine liked to pronounce “lmao” as “le mayo” before I corrected it.

I’m not sure if this fits the question but when I went to California school for the blind in 2017 we were in a computer lab and all of us for some reason had the brilliant idea of making Jaws make a long line of haha and then we all made it say it at once so it echoed through the computer lab.

That actually sounds kind of cool and funny all at once!

I went to a school for the blind in the UK too, and we would constantly do things like this. Even with words that weren’t particularly funny like the word trousers, we would just unplug our earphones and let them echo around the classroom. The teachers were not impressed. The newest one I discovered was with Siri, although I don’t think that’s a blind thing, I’ve seen people doing it all over tik-tok.

My real name. It's not long, not complicated, but it has some weird spelling and the voice person always says it in a very choppy manner.
Also, a few years back i had a GPS that pronounced Wichita, Kansas, wah-cheetah, Cincinnati Ohio was Sin-sin-naughty, and thr Alamo was Ah-lame-oh.

Thought of two more
So I see this around here sometimes.
Hypoplasia
Doesn’t that sound funny on voiceover it almost says hypo plissia but funnier. I think it’s hypo playsia or something like that so that’s one.
So there’s a user on reddit named
Wholesocionics
First I thought the user name was hola socionics hahaha! Or holla socionics or something like that then I looked how the guy spelt his name I know this guy a little so I know it’s a he but the user name is
Whole socionics

Two things I had a friend named Luz! Jaws would pronounce it like la-uz but it’s pronounced sort of right on the voice over like looze.
The second thing I will have to give you a tiny bit of background. I am part of a hobby theory thing that has four groupings simple alpha beta gamma and delta. They would call all these different quadra. Maybe it’s me but sometimes I hear gamma quadra as it reading gam quadra. And I am like what the heck is a gam quadra. And is that a new quadra. One day I flicked to it and read it word by word I am like these people aren’t leaving out letters right surely they wrote gamma. I was like oh okay.... then.
