Speaking of accessibility improvements in VS Code, does anyone know of a good way to use text to speech? I use this Read aloud TTS extension for web browsing, but would like to find an equivalent method in VS Code that lets me use different TTS voice engines the same way to listen to long markdown files or inline documentation.

I Googled for it quickly and found two hits that look promising

I have no idea if these are good quality though as I don't use tts. But hopefully one of them works out!
