Hello, I am a web developer and I am really interested and have been playing around with the Web Speech API. I think I understand the Speech recognition part, but Speech synthesis is still somewhat troubling to me. This is because the spec that I am looking at only has one example of Speech Synthesis and is from 2012. Is there a more recent spec? Please correct me if I am wrong, the voice Synthesised Speech is spoken is dependent on what "voices" the user has installed, correct? However, there is a way to detect what voices are installed and then choose a voice from those installed, correct? How do I do that? I can't find any examples on how to get a list of voices installed and how to set the voice out of one of those voices? Is there a way to serve a voice with the code so it is guaranteed it is spoken in that voice? How are Google Conversational Search results spoken in such a nice voice? And the same voice on every time and every machine? I would greatly appreciate it if someone could help me and answer these questions. Thanks in Advance! Best Regards, Irfan.
