Update TTS to ignore "blanks" in type to answer cards

Just as in the title - I have vocab cards where I type in the answer (in French) and I think it’s saying the blanks literally.

  • Is this a cloze note type with type-answer added, or something else?
  • “I think it’s saying the blanks literally” – what is it saying?
  • Since you’re asking specifically about AnkiDroid – are you using legacy AnkiDroid-only <tts> tags, or the all-platform {{tts ...}} feature?

Hi there, it’s card type “basic (type in the answer)”

And it’s the TTS option under Settings → Advanced → Plugins

I’ve attached screenshots of both.

Finally, I made some cards and turned on TTS in English as I certainly understand it better!

Front was “What is this” and back was “test” and for the front it sounds like it’s saying “What is this type: back” and on the answer reveal it does not say the answer but just “type: back”.

Sorry I missed your response!

Yes, that is basic read-the-card functionality, and it isn’t integrated with any other features of the app.

I think you’ll find this works much better if you disable that and use TTS functionality in your card templates – Field Replacements - Anki Manual .
