"A kutya is felmegy a kanapéra."

Translation: The dog goes up onto the sofa, too.

[Arcaeca]

"is" sounds a lot like "és". Any hope for a slow audio button any time soon?

I don't think so, but we can be surprised. Anyway, "é" is a long vowel, "i" is short. So, that's a clue. Otherwise it is a perfect "i" to the Hungarian ear.
