Hi, 
there I see three issues.

first, loadstone does a lowercase conversion,
which causes troubles.(So I guess it was not "Ati road" but "ati road".)

second, the screenreader should be configured to read all uppercase words as single letters. Is it Nuance Talks? The developer lives near me here in Germany. 
Consider to post on the english loadstone and or talks mailing lists.
Or check all talks menues. I have my talks mobile not here, but I guess there was a configuration item on that. But actually this does not help before the loadstone converter does it right.

Third thing is, that we have names in different languages, and up to now loadstone converter does not pass through tags like name:en=EnglishName or name:de=GermanName, and Loadstone does not select and read them.

I´ll get back to that topic and see what I can do when I am back home from vacation!

Thanks for your feedback!
Regards
Lulu-Ann
