SUGGESTION: Please implement AI text-to-speech!!
There is an app on iOS called "Matter" which is very similar to "aggregation and consumption" apps like Pocket, Instapaper, etc. But there's one major difference -- Matter has implemented AI for its text-to-speech feature, and it makes all the difference in the world. Having experienced Matter's AI-enhanced text to speech, I can't stand to listen to Logos' text to speech, even using enhanced voices. The difference is stark, and the AI voice nearly sounds like a human reader -- all the right pauses and intonations, with very few mistakes. It would truly be a game-changer to see this get implemented in Logos.

Yes, the TTS in Logos has been subpar for years. I never use it because of that.
There are a bunch of suggestions on the feedback board related to text-to-speech / read aloud. Perhaps this one is the closest and could stand some more voting:

You might want to add a specific one about using AI text-to-speech.

I can't find it. Could you share a link here?

I didn't create a new feedback suggestion -- I simply pasted this comment as a comment to the existing feedback that you linked me to. I guess I could create a new post if you think that would be a good idea.

Funny. Moments after I posted this, Matter introduced a feature that allows you to import any PDF for reading by the Matter voice TTS engine. I think for now, my plan is to print to PDF portions of whatever it is inside of Logos that I want to listen to and import that into Matter. Should be an OK work-around for now.

Yes, PLEASE improve the TTS!!
Logos TTS on both Windows and iOS sound really bad, especially after you've heard other TTS (such as using Alexa to read out Kindle books).
