Indeed. It also sounds like it could be trained to correctly read math or code, the two things that require enough expertise to properly pronounce that most text to speech engines fail miserably.

Something like:

  a(b+c)

"a times the quantity b plus c"

If read with proper inflection, this would be a vast improvement and could open up all sorts of technical material to people for whom audio learning is preferred.

I think back to the first math teacher I had whose pronunciation of the notation was precise and unambiguous enough that one didn't really have to be watching the board. This is a rare gift, yet it is possible in many areas of math, yet few teachers master it (or realize how helpful it is).
