This would be only semi-successful on English-language names, since
English has loan-words from virtually every other language on Earth, and
many of those words don't fit the general English phonetic rules.

Having TTS to hear the street names is very nice, but hearing them
correctly pronounced would be even better.
There was an attempt at it:

But AFAIK there was no outcome from that proposal.
Did anyone really investigate how bad using common phonetic rules PER
LANGUAGE on osm names?
For many names that should work I think, at least when the right
language is detected correctly.
That, on the other hand, could be hinted by using the corresponding
name:[lang] tags (name:de, name:en, ...), probably even when the main
language might be redundant.
