There are some times it fails (Sonika can't even naturally say her name as its not in her dictionary, other times the wrong sound may be present in the vocal or updates) but for the most part... Its a solid gauge.

Excuse my ignorance on the matter, but so long as we now the Vocaloid is Meiko, the way its pronounced is moot.

While its nice to be able to pronounce the name correctly, bare in mind as a non-native speaker you likely aren't expected nor should it always be an issue if you get it wrong in front of other non-natives. I don't understand the excessive insistence some areas of the fandom that insist on it being 100% spot on. I met people from other countries who do not now how to say my own first name, therefore I do not expect them to say it and I've been called some funny things. Correcting them doesn't always resolve the issue nor does it ness. get anywhere as some get annoyed by you doing so. Excuse me if I'm misinterpeting this, which if I am, disregard this, but it seems as though this was at least somewhat a response to my post, which if that wasn't the intent my apologies. In the case you were though, I apologize if I seemed like that kind of person, or that I was forcing that sort of thing on OP, as that was not my intent. I just figured it'd be nice to have a guide so that one wouldn't have to go through the trouble of posting an entire thread to ask such a question, which is why I gave that whole long-winded post, I don't particularly care that much tbh or anything, I just thought it might be helpful - pardon me if it seemed my intent was thought it was something else.
