I speak french, but I wouldn't know how to spell it phonetically in english.

However this text to speech site pronounces it very well:

This is off-topic, but... I wonder if you could verify for me whether the "French-Alice" voice on that site pronounces this name correctly (please):

Antoine de Saint Exupéry

I've always been curious how it's said, but whenever I run into native french speakers, I forget to ask. I found that site a while back, but I can't judge how accurate it is. Many thanks!

Oh I saw your question only today.

Alice's pronunciation is correct, but I say the name slightly difference. She pronunces 'Ex' like ecks, while I say eggs.
