There are also certain things to consider when writing texts. Although text is technically always readable, it can still be problematic for reading software that is supposed to pronounce the text comprehensibly. Below are a few key words on possible problem areas in texts.

Some abbreviations may be very well known, others rather unknown. In any case, the use of abbreviations increases the risk that the reading software will no longer be able to handle them correctly. This term includes not only well-known abbreviations suchas "e.g." or"etc.", but also acronyms ("Kripo","AStA","StVO").

As you can see above, there is a way to explain abbreviations. To do this, you can click on the small book symbol in the toolbar of the TYPO3 editor and enter an abbreviation and the corresponding explanation. The long form is then always supplied and can be analysed by reading software.

Special spellings such as the gender star or other spelling variants to achieve gender-equitable language are also a known problem area for reading aloud software. Here are some examples:

• Employees
• Employees
• Employees
• Employees
• Employees

Different reading aloud software may be able to handle these variants differently. In general, it can be said that reading aloud problems are best avoided by not using such special spellings.

A lot of information on the advantages and disadvantages of spelling can be found on the internet. Some variants are explicitly labelled as non-accessible.
