VoiceOver on iOS is not perfect, but, compared to JAWS, it is great, especially when it comes to words/names that are made by combining multiple words. I have been able to fix a few of the pronunciations by having JAWS pronounce it in the original language, such as Audi in German, but that does not always work. I don’t expect it to be perfect, but it should get the more well known ones right.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Nicole<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
