Sometimes the text-to-speech mispronunciations make me laugh out loud!
It came to "Mmm-mmm" and spoke it as the letter "M" in very rapid succession ("em em em em em em"). I thought it got stuck for a second! In one book, "New York" was used quite frequently. Every time, TTS would speak it with a very long pause between the two words. In another book, the word "fu**ers" was in the middle of a sentence and it practically shouted the word (with great emphasis). There have been some other interesting ones.
But, all in all, I think TTS does okay for what it is. I actually use it a lot. I track the words with my eyes while listening, so I'm able to get the meaning. I guess I'm used to its peculiarities.
