i wouldn’t call it a lame question at all, tts is one of the simplest but most useful writing hacks. if you’re on android, voice aloud reader is an easy app to paste your draft into, and on desktop you can just use natural reader online. when i wanted to keep versions of my writing to compare pacing changes, i’d export them and run them through uniconverter so i had clean mp3s.
Yeah i’ve noticed that too, especially with free tts tools where the delivery feels like it’s trying too hard to be polite or quirky. one trick is exporting raw lines and then using uniconverter to adjust timing or chop out the extra “sorry tts!” type moments so it’s more natural.

On iPhones to other iPhones, if sent with Siri. It says sent with Siri under the message for the recipient
Swipe type, too.
Burn off them sick at parsing the intended sentence.
Why does everyone have a problem with TTS? It works just fine for knee
Did you happen to mean speech to text? As opposed to text to speech?
I believe your issue is actually with STT (Speech To Text), not TTS (Text To Speech). While similar, STT is an Input and TTS is an Output.
There are two words you should never use. One of them is swell, and the other one is lousy.
I usually just say “Dictated not read” at the end if I’m driving or can’t check.
I always add „Hashtag Siri“ -> „#Siri“ at the end of each message, people understand

Text to speech should just embrace its quirks and add a Sorry, TTS! at the end of each message. It’d be the perfect mic drop moment.
