Default all depends sometimes. i have the german version and all the german artists sound hilarious

but even with the us ones i sometimes get screw ups.
2pac or 2 p a c all depends on how the artist name is spelled

Default You can switch the voice prompts for better quality ones with AT&T Natural Voices Engine.

Of course you need the voice package as well as the engine to run it.
