Which plugin are you requesting the feature for? Text to speech

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. The current voice options are not good, I found Siri voice from Apple voices quite good,`

Describe the solution you'd like Be able to use the Apple voices, basically you can activate them by using "Spoken content". But Despite that I was able to play selected text using hammerspoon. I guess we can run a Applescript to achieve this.

Unfortunately, Apple doesn't expose the Siri voice on their APIs. Even if we interacted with it somehow with Applescript, we wouldn't be able to access that specific model :(

However it wouldn't hurt for us to explore implementing OpenAI voices or Elevenlabs. Those are very human sounding (better than siri imo)
