No. without reopening the article, I thought one was Finnish read with an English accent. This was due to what the author had grown accustomed. In his youth screen readers did not have as many options?

>I'm reading English with a Finnish speech synthesizer

I think it's English but the robot voice is geared for Finnish speech patterns.

I think it was the opposite - English read with a Finnish accent.

It's not just an accent. It's reading the words as if they were Finnish, so totally different.
