1. A method for providing a corrected pronunciation suggestion to a user of a vehicle, the method comprising:

  • receiving, by a microphone communicatively coupled to a processing device, a voice input to a navigation system user interface from the user of the vehicle, wherein the voice input comprises a particularly pronounced word and a voiced spelling of the particularly pronounced word;

    determining, by the processing device, supplemental information corresponding to the particularly pronounced word, the supplemental information comprising GPS coordinates of the vehicle at the time the voice input was received;

    comparing, by the processing device, the particularly pronounced word and the voiced spelling to one or more reference words in a reference table for a regional dialect selected based on the GPS coordinates;

    determining, by the processing device, that the particularly pronounced word has been potentially mispronounced by the user of the vehicle based on the voiced spelling and the one or more reference words in the reference table;

    determining, by the processing device, the corrected pronunciation suggestion from the voiced spelling and the one or more reference words; and

    providing, via a user interface, the corrected pronunciation suggestion to the user of the vehicle.
