Support Multiple Voices Per Language

tariq86 commented 7 years ago

This PR adds a setVoice method, which adds support for multiple voices for languages that have multiple voices. For example, language code en-US on macOS currently has 4 languages: "Alex", "Fred", "Samantha", and "Google US English". Using the existing setLanguage method is always using voice "Alex", since it is the first voice for that language code. You can now use the new setVoice method to use any of the other available voices.

New Method: setVoice(voice), where voice can be:

A string of the voice's name (i.e. "Fiona", "Google UK English")
An integer for the voice's index (as returned by window.speechSynthesis.getVoices())
A SpeechSynthesisVoice object (as returned by window.speechSynthesis.getVoices())

Thanks that's great ! I'll give it a go when I've got a bit of time, and build a new version if it all works.
