Bit of a tangent here but did you get 1805 from context or is YYYY-YY a common year range notation that I'm not aware of? Because I would never guess 1793-05 meant 1793-1805 either.
- fnordpiglet 3y agoIt’s not but it’s obvious from the context, which I think is the point. A GPT-4 LLM could probably figure it out from context, but most text to speech models probably don’t have as much semantic training.
- saulpw 3y agoSure, it's awkward, but how about "1793 to oh-five"? Instead of inserting incorrect content.

- hadlock 3y ago1898-02 or 1998-02 would be the years someone attended high school or college. The context of when it was written, either in 1905 or 2023 can be important. Seems to be pretty common notation when spanning centuries, particularly +/- 10 years. I grew up during the turn of the century and seemed to be quite common.
