I've used Amazon's Alexa by saying "How do you pronounce" and then spelling the word. It probably would also work with a guessed pronunciation though it might not get the right word. It sometimes misunderstands things I ask it. I often use it to define a word while reading because it just seems easier to just ask than to highlight. Anyway they are useful gadgets to have around. Similar devices from Google would work the same.

I have an early kindle with text to speech but the way it pronounces a lot of words is way off. English has a lot a strange quirks that way. Words that are spelled the same can have different meanings and pronunciations.
