What the Ph?

What the Phonics? is a device that pronounces street names.

Street names in Denmark are very difficult for foreigners to pronounce. To prevent people from making fools of themselves Momo Miyazai and Andrew Spitz at the Copenhagen Institute of Interaction Design installed a speaker on a cable, along with a strip of lights, above street signs in touristy areas of the city. Tourists can listen to a Danish speaker pronounce the street name.
