Use voices on computer? #112

Closed Cblu2th closed 1 year ago

Is there any method you could implement that would allow SAPI voices already installed on the computer to be used? I know that there are other options already available along with the API but this would make things nicer and more customizable.

Hello,

this extension does use the regular browser's text to speech API Chrome's TTS API uses SAPI https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/reference/tts/ from what I'm reading here.

In addition to this, we support ElevenLabs which is a third party API with amazing voices (and you can even create your own custom voices).

I am open to integrating more TTS APIs if given pointers/directions, as long as they're javascript based, I'm all in.
