Spiel is a modern speech synthesis API for the desktop that will hopefully support many kinds of providers and voices. It has GI bindings, so adding it to foliate shouldn't be hard.
I started a port, but ran into some trouble with how foliate creates SSML mark elements to report speech progress. Spiel has speech boundary events, including SSML marks, but now all providers support it. Unfortunately I think changes will be needed in foliate-js as well to make this work. Specifically, pre-segmenting the text into marks gets in the way here.
