The problem in question seems to have been going for a while.
One way to try and go around this is to use hard-coded voice objects as suggested here. However, it is unclear to me how to use an object like:
{ name: "Samantha (Enhanced)", voiceURI: "com.apple.ttsbundle.Samantha-premium", lang: "en-US", localService: true, "default": true }
to instantiate a SpeechSynthesisVoice object.
Has anyone come across a way to instantiate a SpeechSynthesisVoice object as a workaround for an empty array of available voices? Thanks!
