I find these quirks in Voiceover amusing. On my iPhone 5, VO will mangle certain last names in Contacts unless there happened to be other text following the last name.

Hi, yes when i first had my i phome and my i pad i used Daniel and when i did 
typing a text i couldn't tell the difference between m and n so i was sending 
texts that didn't make sense, also i found with that voice it was missing of 
bits of words while on safari, that's why i use Karen voice instead, Sarah.

Hi all, I was just simply wondering, regarding to whatever english voice you 
use with Voiceover are there at all times, where say your reading a piece of 
text from Safari and you miss hear the odd word hear and there.

I'm sorry if that isn't descriptive or thought out more but to just to explain 
what I mean further. If, and I'm going to say it, used eloquence, I don't know 
why but that particular TTS have never gone wrong for me in the form of 
pronunciation. Where as in contrast, as much as I try to use Alex or any of the 
other male TTS voices that are available, I find now and then, that I'll miss a 
word or two when navigating around the web reviewing what I've written etc. 
Just wondered if I'm the only one.
It is weird because I have my rate level set to 40% and I don't want to go down 
to 35% but with say Elequence, I could comfortably have that around the 45% 
mark and not miss a thing.

So your thoughts are most welcome. Another possibility is that I'm also hearing 
in pared and wondered if this could have any baring on why I may miss certain 
words now and again. Its kind of frustrating at times which is why I wondered 
if it was just me.
