What I remember from Jouke's demo at the Perl Mongers Amsterdam meeting last month, was that the text on the button is the default phonetic string passed to the speech synthesizer, but that you can override it. This was e.g. particularly needed for Jouke's name, which is pronounced "jauwku" rather than "jooki" (hope I got that right ;-).
The quality of speech is actually very dependent on the speech synthesizer used. We heard some examples from very hard to understand, to a Flemish speakng female voice that was hard to differentiate from real.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
