Possible solution
SYNC applies the phonetic pronunciation
rules of the selected language to the names
stored on your media player or USB flash
drive. It is able to make some exceptions
for very popular artist names (for example,
U2) such that you can always use the
English pronunciation for these artists.
SYNC uses a synthetically generated voice
rather than pre-recorded human voice.
SYNC offers several new voice control
features for a wide range of languages.
Dialing a contact name directly from the
phonebook without pre-recording (for
example, "call John Smith") or selecting a
track, artist, album, genre or playlist directly
from your media player (for example, "play
artist Madonna").
SYNC offers significant capability beyond
the previous system such as dialing a
contact name directly from the phonebook
without pre-recording (for example, "call
John Smith") or selecting a track, artist,
album, genre or playlist directly from your
media player (for example, "play artist
Madonna").
