Pronunciation of Router (TTS)

[fenglish]

Hi,

I have used a Text-To-Speech application to read the following sentence, and I found that there is a big pronunciation difference between the first "router" and the second "router". I can confirm that the pronunciation of 2nd router is correct because it is the same as the pronunciation from Oxfore dictionary.

But I don't know if the pronunciation of 1st router is correct or not. Please help to confirm, thanks.

In sparse mode, a router assumes that other routers do not want to forward multicast packets for a group,
unless there is an explicit request for the traffic.

Here is the link for the TTS voice: http://vocaroo.com/i/s0gZUG3wOjVF
(Note: It is recorded by android recording with high voice quality, please listen to time span "00:11 to 00:23")

But I can only find the second pronunciation from dictionary, can't find any match pronunciation from dictionary for the 1st router.

It's not possible for dictionaries to list every pronunciation in every dialect of every word.

Stick to standard pronunciations in your own speech, but be aware that others exist.

Only the first pronunciation is used in AmE.

Only the first pronunciation is used in AmE.

And that rhymes with "ow."

Do you trust a dictionary from your country?

Thanks. After checking the icaba, I re-open the Oxfore and Longman on my android phone, and suddenly found both 1st and 2nd pronunciations are there.

The default pronunciation is UK. It's my mistake.
