> could voice somehow be a "progressive enhancement" to the web?

I have created my own TamperMonkey plugin that adds TTS to web pages. It finds text, makes it clickable, and when a user clicks a word, it starts reading from there, highlighting text as it reads it, skipping menus and chrome. I find this helps me better focus on reading. Unfortunately I can only stand one single voice and it's been stagnating for years (Alex from Mac OS). Can't wait to hear the WaveNet voice Google has been threatening to give us.

Is it available for the rest of us perchance?
