I’ve come across recorded sentences with text to speech. Should I vote them positively or not?

Hi @DaDiRa Welcome to the community discourse! :slight_smile: This is interesting, I haven’t found this situation, did you have the chance to document which sentences were using this? I would say that this is not ideal, since this is the same voice over an over again, so having more than 15 minut…

No I didn’t document it but I’ll do it from now on. This happened about 3 times so far in the 55 sentences I voted for.

Unfortunately we don’t have flagging functionality yet, though it’s been requested a couple of times already.

What if people are using text-to-speech to record?
