Document voice quality as a new property #39

Closed HadrienGardeur closed 2 months ago

HadrienGardeur commented 4 months ago

In order to:

I'm introducing a new quality property that can list one or more values per voice.

Android's take on describing quality settings feels pretty good, so I'm re-using the same approach:

veryHigh
Very high, almost human-indistinguishable quality of speech synthesis
high
High, human-like quality of speech synthesis
normal
Normal quality of speech synthesis
low
Low, not human-like quality of speech synthesis
veryLow
Very low, but still intelligible quality of speech synthesis

This will be subjective of course and I'm not necessarily going to follow what's documented by Apple/Google through their native APIs, as I don't really agree with how they rate voice quality.

This property will be optional and I'll skip it in a few cases when it's hard to document it.

@Falcosc I think that this was what you were waiting for. I'm busy working on a few things related to comics and making them accessible for the rest of the month, but I'll do my best to continue documenting this property in all languages.
