Webex Meetings Text To Speech (TTS)

As Webex makes progress with real time translation and other speech to text capabilities, another feature that could immensely help with the accessibility and communities of people who have speech impairment is a text to speech (TTS) feature in Meetings.

There are several apps which support TTS like Speech Services by Google. Amazon also offers the Amazon Polly service. But none currently integrate with a Meetings experience. In addition to the more inclusive customer experience with real-time translation and transcription, translating 13 spoken languages into 100+ other languages in closed captions, it would be great to give those with a language barrier or speech impairment a voice in the hybrid work environment and virtual world of meetings.
