Current Behavior

The spoken words are often unclear or difficult to distinguish, especially at normal playback speed. Some words blend together, making listening-based typing practice frustrating and less accurate.

Expected Behavior

The TTS voice should be clearer and easier to understand consistently during typing practice. Ideally, users should be able to accurately hear and identify spoken words without needing to repeatedly replay them.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Open Monkeytype
2. Enable the TTS / listen-based typing feature, from the settings
3. Start a typing session
4. Listen to the words
5. Notice that some words are difficult to understand clearly

Environment

• OS: macOs
• Browser: Google Chrome
• Browser Version: Latest stable version

Anything else?

Possible improvements:

• Add clearer or more natural voice options
• Allow users to choose between multiple TTS providers/voices
• Improve pronunciation clarity
• Add controls for speech speed and voice style
• Prefer higher-quality system/browser TTS voices when available

I can also work on this to help improve the voice clarity and overall listening experience if this gets assigned to me...
