I have noticed that if I surround text with asterisk (not typing the character as the web editor converts to italic) the TTS system seems to ignore it. I want to send the response to my frontend which does something based on a cue. I am planning to put this cue inside of two asterisks so that my frontend can scan the response for this cue but the TTS system does not say anything. Can I rely on this behaviour to be maintained in the future? Or is it just a quirk of the TTS system with no guarantee of working?
Also is there any better way of doing this? Right now I gave the AI a few examples of when to put the cue and when to not put it and it seems to work fineish, but I’m not sure if there’s a better way.
Thanks.
