I was hoping to see 'live' on the list.

> I live in US.

vs

> I went to a live concert in US.

The Alex voice on macOS used to confuse them a lot.

Ah, and 'ML paper' read as 'millilitres paper'

BTW, are there any available services but very easy to use for non-programmer? I know Amazon polly and Wason, wason maybe better they got a free demo page which you can use, but for Amazon polly, u have to pay and know how to code and use their API, any other very good alternatives?

A Bug Bounty comes to mind.

This sort of stuff could be crowd sourced better even without a bounty.

Why not dump part of the billions $ spent for the visually impaired on web design instead into long lasting solutions like better text-to-speech.

I guess less opportunists to virtual signal is the real answer.

So you'd need a way to allow people to virtual signal to fix this, which also possible, and in fact might be also a way to earn $.
