Hi all,
I'm sure some of you may have already seen this announcement on Twitter, but Apple is rolling out an API for third-party speech synthesizers to be used with accessibility features on their platforms. Known as the Speech Synthesis Provider Audio Unit, this should be coming out in the initial releases of iOS 16, Mac OS 13, and tvOS 16. Hopefully companies will get on board pretty soon. Here's a link to the developer documentation for anyone wanting to take a look, and please let me know your thoughts and which voices you would like to see. https://developer.apple.com/documentation/avfaudio/avspeechsynthesisprovideraudiounit

anything will be released in the near future ?
Third-party voices,
Update,rh voice is now available, but it does not support English as of right now, if any app developers are reading this, I would love to see Ivona voices come to iOS, if you can, and if you have the source code, please make that happen
