Having well-defined vowel sounds could well improve the accuracy of recognition.

Interesting! I hadn't thought of that, but it makes a great deal of sense. (Some) British English does tend to have more distinct sounds. My merry/marry/Mary do sound pretty similar.
'Course, here in America, we do enunciate our Hs.
There's a difference between "Ana" and "Hannah".
