A Voicebot Just Left Me Speechless

It's not that hard to say my name, Saahil Desai. Saahil: rhymes with sawmill, or at least that gets you 90 percent there. Desai: like decide with the last bit chopped off. More often than not, however, my name gets butchered into a menagerie of gaffes and blunders. The most common one, Sa-heel, is at least an honest attempt--unlike its mutant twin, a monosyllabic mess that comes out sounding like seal.
