### 5/5 — I finally fixed it!

*2024-09-02*

Premium wasn’t working and it turned back when I reopen the app so I use the user dictionary and started to type that other words just everything with us a character that text to speech and cannot read. And the other ones!! This only happens when punctuation otherwise it might say a little bit

### 1/5 — Extra word at the start

*2023-07-02*

To the handling of each word, it starts with an actual word. Please silence that extra word and just turn it in to a beep when it starts speaking just to give that easier to denote beep so that it won’t repeat the word up for it or next word and then it will become very clear
