This is a very interesting site.
I took the name "Regina" as an example as its pronounced very differently between Canada/UK and US.
If you toggle through the site's region selectors it does indeed produce videos with the regionally correct pronouciation. (Admittedly I had a sample size of N=1 video each)
So yeah, its a great start!
- mathieuh 3y agoI assume in Canada/UK it rhymes with vagina? That's probably because the royal cipher of Elizabeth II was ER, with the 'R' being for Regina (Latin for 'queen'). So I would imagine that people have heard it in that context before. Just looking at it it looks like it should be pronounced "redgEEnuh".
- filereaper 3y agoYeah that's exactly right. I was only aware of the Canada/UK version and was caught off guard when used on a colleague that used "redgEEnuh" for their name.
