Text-to-speech is not dictation.

But since you bring it up, I've never seen a GPS TTS that doesn't suck 
in a country that doesn't use it's language.  If you set it to English, 
it will use English rules to pronounce the street names.  In a country 
speaking Spanish or Italian, this means that we've past the street by 
the time I figure out what it was supposed to be saying.
