I’ve played around with Speech Synthesis in the browser, created a `SpeechSynthesis` widget and contributed it as a PR to Panel.

See [https://github.com/holoviz/panel/pull/1878](https://github.com/holoviz/panel/pull/1878)

Watch the video (and remember to turn on sound 🙂)

If you have ideas for use cases or improvements I would really like to hear them. Thanks.

UPDATE: SpeechSynthesis widget renamed to TextToSpeech widget
