I can understand how the text to speech process cleans up the normal audio
quality issues (compression, noise, etc, etc)... but how well does it work
in practice for intelligibility... especially with odd words...

Writing for a text reader does require a degree of training - NWS learned
that many years ago.

Suggest you contact Don Miller at MyStateUSA (he works for them now) and ask
about this

We have had some interesting messages...in the learning process.   Like 911
being 'read' as Nine hundred eleven etc.

The benefit to text to speech far outweighs the down side.
