This text contains many "soft hyphen" unicode characters, which break the ReadAloud Generic Voice. Any word with a soft hyphen will be pronounced incorrectly. Examples on this page are "prerequisites", "proficient", "generally", etc.

Perhaps it would be better if the extension removed those kinds of characters (soft hyphens, zero-width spaces, etc) before passing it to the text to speech engine, if it doesn't do that currently?
