Hi,
Yes,Now i noticed,  It is because of loadstone.

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
