I'm guessing that the main reason they require you to go through their "preferred partners" is that their job is to insert annontations that the speech generator needs to make it sound good. I wonder if this is because it

A bit meta, but still: If you're going to translate something, translate it well. This page is (I assume) auto-translated to Swedish using Google Translate or something similar, and the result is poor. This makes the whole thing come o
