Does anyone know if Rumanian and Hungarian sound alike? Cheryl Subject: Voice for surname pronunciation Cheryl: A web site has been unveiled that enables you to enter a surname or a place name to be spoken online. For instance, if you enter "Balog," both of the English voices will say băl' log, "log" like "dog," "log." Only some of the pronunciations are acceptable while the others are incorrect. An accent is used on wrong syllables, the sound of letters is mixed, and so on. The address is http://say.expressivo.com/. This site is geared to Polish spoken text though. You might be satisfied with foreign pronunciation by the Romanian voice.
