Now I know you’re from somewhere in the world where they don’t pronounce Z like zed!

Aside though, the rest of that is great dictation, what app are you using?

Ah, thanks!

I’m using Sayboard which integrates well with Heliboard, but has lower quality than yours it seems. Its properly FOSS though, unlike Futo apps.

Actually, I just checked my voice assistant, it got CZM from “see-zed-em” just fine. American English settings on my phone with a PNW grey accent. In fact, saying “see-zee-em” failed more for me, thinking I said CCM or Cesium multiple times.

That’s what they were saying. We know OP doesn’t say zed because you’d expect to get “CZM” saying it that way. We know OP says zee because the dictation mistakenly typed CZM instead of the desired Cesium - the atom used in atomic clocks.
