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.

probably easier to look for something OS wide.

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

https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=bierner.speech

https://github.com/olefjaerestad/vscode-speech-to-text

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