Some of the Robot's Errors When Reading the Article, "Swedish expert says CO2 is not the main cause of global warming"

1. "CO2" mispronounced as "ko - two"
2. "Dr." spelt out rather than pronounced as "doctor".
3. Unnatural intonation at many points, sometimes severely unnatural intonation.
4. Unnatural pauses at inappropriate points, , sometimes severely unnatural pauses.

Conclusion: Use this robot just to hear the pronunciation of individual words, which is quite accurate except for abbreviations. Under no circumstances should you mimic this robot as it reads! For mimicking, use transcripts of real people speaking, not robots - they are still very far from speaking naturally.
