When I input
Speak["aeiou"]
it spells out a-e-i-o-u, but I want it to be pronounced as one word.
How do I do this?
Is it even possible?

$\begingroup$ @thedude I want it pronounced, not spelled, even if it is spelled very fast. $\endgroup$– benji b-kDec 27, 2015 at 20:16

$\begingroup$ Yes, I don't know how to do it. I offered a workaround if it turns out to be impossible. $\endgroup$– Baran CimenDec 27, 2015 at 20:18

$\begingroup$ @thedude thanks for the suggestion though, I will use it if nothing works. $\endgroup$– benji b-kDec 27, 2015 at 20:20

4$\begingroup$ I don't think it is possible. After all, how do you know your example shouldn't be pronounced "ah-eh-ih-oh-you"? If your example isn't a word, Mathematica will not have proper guidance on how to pronounce it. $\endgroup$– David G. StorkDec 27, 2015 at 20:21

What I have figured out:
Speak[] is buggy. Here is proof:
Speak["aeueaaeueauaeaeueaaeuaeaeeaueaaeuae"] can be pronounced, but Speak["aeiou"] is spelled out.
Speak["ae ae ae ae"] pronounces the first three, and spells out the fourth.
Speak[] changes from system to system. On my raspberry pi, the first word of any Speak[] command is left out, but it is not left out on my PC.
So to answer my own question, no, it doesn't appear to be possible. Instead, I should try to use actual words.
