Goofy mispronounciations in audio renderings #207

Open Cybernide opened 2 years ago

TVs sounds like "tivs", signboard is pronounced "sig-nuh-birds". For users with screen reading software, it's probably not too big a deal. For those who primarily use magnification, probably very annoying.

My guess it's either the text is weird as it comes from ML labels (which are sometimes not formatted in a good way for the TTS - we do some correction in the handlers) or from us needing to use a lower quality vocoder model. We switched to a lower quality model that can be run on the CPU in close to realtime due to contention with all the ML models.

So the text reads correctly: signboards looks right, it's just the sound itself. In the case of TVs, it's not recognizing the acronym.

Moving to backlog as this probably takes a little investigation and is not a significant problem if the person has a screenreader or is using braille.
