Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I'm always frustrated when I have to make an external network request for text-to-speech in Chrome when Google voices are used for Web Speech API speechSynthesis.speak(). The same is true for webkitSpeechRecognition() on Chrome.

For Text-To-Speech Chrome truncates input characters greater than 32768 https://source.chromium.org/chromium/chromium/src/+/master:chrome/browser/resources/network_speech_synthesis/tts_extension.js;drc=6c876d3d1412212cd4a671f54aacd9277f985ff2;l=122.

For Speech-To-Text it is not really clear that on Chrome the users' voice is sent to remote servers for processing.

Describe the solution you'd like
Release text-to-speech source code and voices as FOSS (Free Open Source Software)

Describe alternatives you've considered

• Log network activity to analyze the request made by Chrome when Google voices are used with Web Speech API.

• Reverse engineering Native Client .nexe file used for https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/us-english-female-text-to/pkidpnnapnfgjhfhkpmjpbckkbaodldb

Additional context
It will be helpful to developers at large and for accessibility in general and assitive technologies for the source code of Google's TTS and STT implementations to be released as open source code.
