Text to speech not working
My browser / operating system: MacOS Macintosh X 10.12.6, Chrome 83.0.4103.97, No Flash version detectedMy browser / operating system: MacOS Macintosh X 10.12.6, Chrome 83.0.4103.97, No Flash version detected
So, I've been using text to speech in a lot of my projects. I decided to make another project with it. When I got in the editor, the text to speech remained silent.

It might be your internet, it could be software which blocks the text to speech, or there might be inappropriate words in it (like “poop”).

Text to speech not working
A little while ago I was going to use the Text-To-Speech extension, but ran into the same problem. I did a one-word test: the Alto voice said “suit” fine, but the Tenor voice did not. I think you're having the same issue as me.
The Text-To-Speech extension does sort of work, but not usually. If I try to have it say one word (like “Hello”) it's usually fine, but when I type more than one word (like “Hello to the world”), it will rarely say anything. And sometimes it won't say something the first time, but it will the second time.
This applies to probably all of the voices and languages. I even had the same problem when going on the website and trying it out.
