announcement of the distances
-
Since "homograph" is a linguistic term, I think it is really plausible to assume it's coming from or has to do with the speech synthesis engin.
-
Did a short test drive with my two iPhones today:
- iPhone 13 pro with iOS 16.3.1 (="Business-iPhone")
- iPhone 7 Plus with iOS 15.7.4 (="MRA-iPhone" for the motorbike).
It's unbelievable, the iPhone 13 generates the correct announcement, the iPhone 7 generates the wrong (as described above) announcement.
Has anyone else - apart from Jörgen - noticed such behaviour...? -

Has anyone else - apart from Jörgen - noticed such behaviour...?@Mopetenpit it might very well be an issue with the speech synthesis (OS based, as @Con-Hennekens also mentioned) and that it was solved in newer (current) iOS version

@Corjan-Meijerink Yes, something like that will be the reason.

@Corjan-Meijerink, Is the speech synthesis left to OS? I had not thought of that. I assumed it was embedded in the app itself.

@Jörgen was the problem fixed after an iOS update or after an MRA update?
-
Yes, was gone after MRA Update.

It is really strange that it is still there, with latest version (I believe you are up-to-date). I have no idea what this change triggers. May be deinstall and try a new installation.
My iOS is 16,3,1 on iPhone X.

Now it's even better...
Since the last MRA update, the announcements from the iPhone 13 are also contaminated with "HomographStart" and "HomographEnd"! Except for Jörgen's entries, messages on this topic do not appear here. Am I the only one with this problem at the moment? It's actually unimaginable... -

It's actually unimaginable...@Mopetenpit There seems to be a bug in Apple's Text To Speech (TTS) functionality as of iOS 15.6, specific to the German language. All apps that use TTS have the same issue, it's not related to MRA. This thread over on the Apple forums offers some work-arounds that may help.

Many thanks for info! I'll find out more about it... -

@Herko-ter-Horst, Good find!

@Jörgen Maybe they fixed it in that update?
The "homograph" problem is not fixed for me, but I have a workaround: the iPhone (is only responsible for navigation) is now configured as an English iPhone. I receive the announcements in English and everything fits. Side effect: my English skills are refreshed...

fyi: on the subject of "homograph": I downloaded the beta of TomTom Go Ride onto my iPhone. Here, too, I get the "homograph announcement"...

@Mopetenpit Great - this really rules out any MRA related issue

I don’t speak German but I guess the English pronunciation of German street names and towns, must be excruciating
-
Oh yes that could be really funny.
This is the longest streetname in German:"Bischöflich-Geistlicher-Rat-Josef-Zinnbauer-Straße"
-
@Corjan-Meijerink, I replied this in another thread about it, might be useful to copy that here too:
The "homograph" problem is really an IOS bug and typical for German language. But please try this as a workaround:
Einstellungen - Bedienungshilfen - Voice Over - Beschriftungsbereich (ganz unten) - deaktiviere das
Can you please check if the problem goes away?
