TTS outputs Markdown tags and sometimes stops

[wenrolland]

The TTS is working better now, but it will stop if I hover with my mouse on a previous output, for example. Also, it's reading the Markdown text and saying out loud the asterisks, instead of a clean version without Markdown tags suitable for voice output. Keep up your great work, it's much appreciated!

Hey, they will improve TTS more. There is a setting to convert Markdown input to SSML format. Try it out; it may fix this issue! :)

Thanks for your answer. TTS is so useful when I'm tired and just want to listen to the output. I've had more success with PiperTTS not stopping than Google voices, though it still enunciates the markdown. It would be nice to add the option for the text to be read automatically when the output is done, saves a couple of keystrokes and mouse clicks. 🙂 I've added a short video as an example of the problem with enunciation of Markdown and GoogleTTS stopping with my current settings.
