add TTS support

[hypevhs]

Here's how you'd set it up in Arch

yay -S speech-dispatcher
cat << EOF > ~/.config/systemd/user/speech-dispatcherd.service
[Unit]
Description=Speech-Dispatcher, common interface to speech synthesizers

[Service]
Type=forking
ExecStart=/usr/bin/speech-dispatcher -d -t 0
ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP \$MAINPID

[Install]
WantedBy=default.target
EOF
systemctl --user daemon-reload
systemctl enable --now --user speech-dispatcherd.service

Install Pied Flatpak and select a voice Launch Vesktop Enable VcNarrator plugin and play the test clips

@lewisakura Can we take another look at this?

[hypevhs]

I moved the modules stuff to the electron baseapp and rebuilt both, and it still gets picked up by Chromium correctly. I'll open a PR with them later, but if they turn me away I'm coming right back here :P With Vencord plugins being broken at the moment, though, I'll hold off.

@libjared (sorry for the surprise ping) In the menatime, would you like to open a PR in the Godot Engine Flatpak repository with your libspeechd module from here? If you did, it would address https://github.com/flathub/org.godotengine.Godot/issues/122, which is an issue that's been open for over a year now. Godot isn't an Electron app so its Flatpak will greatly benefit from having libspeechd built and included alongside the main Godot executable.

have you done this yet? i checked your activity but couldn't find it

[hypevhs]

@Vendicated I opened the PR against the Electron BaseApp

This^ build works and has TTS.

[Vendicated]

looks like your upstream pr got merged, awesome! can we just update the base now? or do we need to wait for them to make a new release

[Vendicated]

oh, nvm. awesome, thank you!!

will do some testing, then we can merge this

[hypevhs]

It took me some digging before, but I eventually found buried in the Flathub documentation that when new commits are added to an app's (or BaseApp's) branch, it explicitly waits exactly 3 hours before it updates the Flathub repos with the new build. I waited till after, and then asked the bot to rebuild.

TLDR AFAICT this is ready.

thanks for your work on this! :)
