    It also makes things difficult for people that use text to voice due to being visually impaired.

      I give you that, however, wat bout lazy writing like tis? Does your TTS have the same level of difficulty? Does it annoy you less because you are more familiar with it? What about people writing without one single punctuation thus messes with the pace of the TTS? What about they inserted a French word in the middle of the sentence and the TTS has its mind deadly set on all English?

      True, but that’s also true with basically any decently niche slang terminology or acronyms/initialisms/abbreviations.

      Perhaps even emojis? Do TTS solutions handle emojis these days?

      I genuienly don’t know.
