Possible solution
SYNC 3 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 excep-
tions for very popular artist names (for
example, U2) such that you can always use
the English pronunciation for these artists.
SYNC 3 uses a synthetically generated
voice rather than pre-recorded human
voice.
SYNC 3 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").
