Description

Currently I'm using native text-to-speech, the list of voices that we get aren't constant throughout browsers so we can't select one voice in chrome and use it in other browser.

Let's have a discussion over what options we have to solve this. (Also, I can't really pay for any cloud text-to-speech services so I will be looking for free options)

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate the Web Speech API's SpeechSynthesis interface to list voices. Since voices vary by browser, implement a voice selection UI that stores the voice URI or name and applies it across browsers where available. Consider using a free cloud TTS service as an alternative for better consistency.
