Save/ShareAT&T has come up with a text-to-speech website that enables you to type in text and hear its correct pronunciation. You have a choice of a male or female speaker of the following accents and languages: British, French, Canadian French, German, or Latin American Spanish.
This site could be handy the next time you're planning a trip with a map or a guidebook. To find out the correct pronunciation of a city name or other unfamiliar word, type it into the Text-to-Speech website.
EARLIER KeyLime Cove—a waterpark resort opening next month in Gurnee, Ill.,—will have radio-frequency identification wristband technology. That means you don't have to carry a room key to rent a locker with or cash to buy a photo of you sliding on a log flume. Editor Erik Torkells comments on this news here.
User reviews and comments that include profanity or personal attacks or other inappropriate comments or material will be removed from the site. Additionally, entries that are unsigned or contain "signatures" by someone other than the actual author will be removed. Finally, we will take steps to block users who violate any of our posting standards, terms of use or privacy policies or any other policies governing this site. Please review the full rules governing commentaries and discussions.
I have often looked for a site like this... thanks for sharing, it'll be most helpful and may prevent some of my embarrassing pronunciation mishaps :)

Dear Patricia,
I regret the delay in responding to you.
The website does not have a name. It is run by AT&T. It's address is:
http://www.research.att.com/~ttsweb/tts/demo.php
I had boldfaced and put into a different color the words for the "text to speech website" in the post, hoping that readers would know to click on those words to see the website. But not all computer monitors make that "difference" clear, and I regret that the blog post was not more clear.
Thank you again for reading,
Regards,
Sean
