Actual results:

No speech is synthesized.

Link to a 404 page.

There is no "SpeechSynthesis API" https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/speech-dispatcher-required-speechsynthesis-api. There is a Web Speech API.

Expected results:

Speech synthesis. This works out of the box on Chromium.

Per the related bug report

Package: speech-dispatcher
Version: 0.11.1-1ubuntu2

should work, however it doesn't.

Re-filing this here as recommended in the related bug report.
