Enh: Text-to-Speech Feature Reads Text in Markdown Format

[flefevre]

Description:

The Text-to-Speech (TTS) feature has an issue when converting Markdown text to audio. It reads specific Markdown syntax, such as ### for headings, instead of ignoring these markers and focusing only on the textual content. This results in an unnatural and inconsistent user experience.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Provide a Markdown-formatted text to the TTS feature, for example:

   ### Example Heading
   Here is a paragraph.

2. Trigger the audio conversion.
3. Listen to the output.

Current Result:
The TTS reads:

"Hashtag hashtag hashtag Example Heading Here is a paragraph."

Expected Result:
The TTS should ignore Markdown syntax and read only the textual content:

"Example Heading. Here is a paragraph."

Impact:
This bug affects the clarity of audio conversion, making it less practical for professional or educational use.

Proposed Fix:
Implement a pre-processing step that:

1. Strips or ignores Markdown syntax from the input text before passing it to the TTS engine.
2. Ensures Markdown styling does not interfere with the readability of the content.
