How are you running AnythingLLM?

AnythingLLM desktop app

What happened?

I'm running AnythingLLM on an intel-based MacBook Pro (2019) running Sonoma 14.5. If I select any Siri based voice, like English (US) Voice 3, it sounds very airy and it's very difficult to understand.

Are there known steps to reproduce?

No response

Also, it doesn't seem to honor the speed setting under: Settings > Accessibility > Spoken Content.

We use the Electron/Chromium-based TTS provider engine. The voice is rendered via that process and is not something we directly control. We simply pass the text to the TTS provider and it is read. It is essentially an accesibility tool
