Huh, wow, really cool! For the most part it's excellent (in English), however I notice that quotation marks (both single and double) are handled strangely. The leading quotation mark is pronounced as a short A, and the trailing as a long A. This can be rather confusing! But otherwise, I'm incredibly impressed by the results.

Thank you very much for your comment!! It's still a beta version and I have to improve some pronunciations! Especially for the special characters... don't hesitate to signup to be kept informed :)

It's certainly that all UTF-8 characters (like UTF-8 fancy quotes and double-quotes) aren't properly interpreted, everything seems to go through as ISO8859-15.

I also noticed the same issue with quotation marks. But other than that this is a really nice application
