ChromeVox reads FAQ as /fæk/ on Goobuntu

Project Member Reported by vds@google.com, Nov 16 2016

Issue description

UserAgent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/54.0.2840.100 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. Enable ChromeVox.
2. Go to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FAQ.
3. Hear /fæk/ followed by /ˌwɪkɪˈpiːdɪə/.

What is the expected behavior?
FAQ should always be read as /ɛf.eɪ.kjuː/.

What went wrong?
Pronunciation of FAQ as /fæk/ is undesired.

Did this work before? N/A 

Chrome version: 54.0.2840.100  Channel: stable
OS Version: 
Flash Version: Shockwave Flash 23.0 r0

On Mac OS machines available for this test, ChromeVox pronounces FAQ as /ɛf.eɪ.kjuː/.

Thanks for the report.

Able to reproduce the issue on Win 7, Ubuntu 14.04 using Chrome Canary #57.0.2929.3, Stable version#54.0.2840.99.Issue not seen on Mac 10.11.4.

This is non-regression issue, issue existing from M45 build, #45.0.2454.101. Chromevox not reading the text on windows <45 builds.

Hence marking it as untriaged.

Likely not an issue in extensions platform itself, but rather chromevox. 

+cc some acessibility folks who are more familiar with chromevox for further triage
