Hi Karlipus, Thanks for the feedback. We just pushed an update to our TTS, which we hope you find is significantly better than it was before. It certainly has faults still, and you've pointed out one of them. I've filed a bug for this and we'll look into it. I can't guarantee how quickly we can get to fixing it, but hopefully we're able to improve it in a future release.
