Hello,
In Firefox 49 I intend to turn on the speech synthesis API on by default in
desktop.
For those paying close attention, this is not the first mail like this.
Last time I turned it on in Nightly only to allow some fuzz testing. As of
this writing there is one blocker we are tracking. All the details can be
seen in bug 1268633.
Blink and Webkit both support synth in their stable releases.
Cheers,
Eitan.

There are still quite a number of bugs on file for this feature:
https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/buglist.cgi?quicksearch=speech%20synthesis&list_id=12990930
one of which seems to suggest we want to switch to a different system
API for synthesis on Windows. Are we sure none of these other bugs need
to block shipping this?

large are they? If so, why aren't we using the speech synthesis APIs built
into the underlying OS (especially on Windows, which is where most of our
users are)?
If not and the only overhead to this is the new compiled code, then great!

We are doing the latter (relying on platform tts support). No extra
