Maybe this isn't an option with Chromium, but with Chrome, I use
Google TTS with ChromeVox. This is available in the Chrome Store.

Hello
I can answer only for Chromium itself, as I do not know other browsers based on it.
I know only the voices we will ship in Slackware64-14.2.1.2 (release candidate ISO to be uploaded within two hours).
Al of these sound more natural than the espeak-ng ones, to my ears:
mbrola (using the espeak-ng-mbrola-generic module of speech-dispatcher)
flite
pico
RHVoice
In addition, following voices can be bought and will work with Slint:
voxygen (baratinoo) sold by hypra.fr
voxin sold by Oralux (Gilles Casse will soon provide the Voxin installer version 2)
All these voices work with speech-dispatcher 0.9.O (the most recent released version), then if installed with Chromevox in Chromium.
As ab side Joanmarie Diggs a.k.a. Joanie is working at making Orca compatible with Chromium, she will announce when a version is available for testing.
There are other TTS that are supposed to work with speech-dispatcher, but on which I have no information like Kali.
I have also had discussion with people from ReadSpeaker.com but ther is sole technical work to do and they still have top decide if they will sell voices to individuals.
HTH,
Didier

So the discussions I found about install voices from the Google Chrone store don't work? Okay, Didier, which voices would you suggest for a more natural sounding voice for a Chromium based browser?

Hello Jace and Chime,
Let me answer after the quotes

Ah I heard there were ways to get other voices working, such as the Flight ones or other TTS engines, hence why I asked
This does not depend on the screen reader (Orca vs Chromevox)
but on the voices you install. If they can be used with
speech-dispatcher,you can use them with both screen readers.
This stands for the voices for which packages are available
for your distribution, as for those that you buy.

I thought in Chromevox, it was essentially an Android voice?
No, see my answer to Jace.
Best,
Didier
