Known weaknesses

Each one links to the public issue, changelog or docs page it came from, where we have one.

1. 01

   Limited language support from underlying TTS providers

   Dependent on the language capabilities of integrated TTS services which may not cover all needed languages.

2. 02

   Performance variability based on selected TTS provider

   Some providers might have slower response times or higher latency, impacting overall application performance.

3. 03

   Complex setup for integrating multiple TTS services

   Requires configuration and authentication with each provider, which can be cumbersome and time-consuming.

4. 04

   Documentation lacks detailed examples and troubleshooting guides

   Current documentation focuses more on basic usage rather than advanced configurations or error handling scenarios.
