The robot pronounces "de" as "det", not as "dom", fix that so people do not get confused
it is written DE but it is pronounced DOM so people tend to write dom as well
The pronoun de/dem is pronounced as if it was spelled "dom", while det is pronounced as if it was spelled "de".

No, it ends in a Swedish r-sound, but it can be very soft depending on how much emphasis is put on the word.
I wrote Dom and it was correct! how? it is supossed to be writen De and pronunciated Dom right?
Writing it as "dom" happens in informal language (not sure how often) even though it's not a "real" word. It is sort of like how sometimes you'll see English speakers spelling "though" as "tho" because that's how they pronounce it.
There are two text-to-speech voices when I'm in a web browser version. One of them clearly pronounces "DE" as "de" instead of "dom".

People often pronounce "de" that way when reading out loud from a text (especially in a more formal setting, such as reading from the Bible), so it's not an entirely incorrect pronounciation. Very unnatural in a conversational setting, though.
"Dom" is slang for both "de" and "dem" but should not be accepted here imo.
