Replaces the speech-dispatcher (SSIP) backend with Google Translate audio for text-to-speech. This removes the dependency on
speech-dispatcherand works out of the box on any system with network access.What changed:
speech.js— NewGoogleTranslateTTSengine that fetches MP3 audio from Google Translate, with playback via mpv (recommended, with JSON IPC for word highlighting), ffplay, or GtkMediaFile as fallback.tts-box.ui— Rebuilt the UI template with language/region dropdowns, speed (0.25×–3×), and volume controls.tts.js— Updated to wire the new UI controls to the engine. Volume and speed adjust live via mpv IPC — no audio interruption.Optional dependencies:
mpv(best experience),curl,ffmpeg/ffprobe.
