hmmm.... i thought i woud be alone with that problem. It seems to be
consistent over various kinds of speech generation (phoneme-based,
vocal-tract based, various software text-to-speech engines...),
when i read the text and hear it, i think it is clear and intelligible. But
turning the head away from the written text, i can hardly understand
anything...
