Set voice for text to speech

Expo SDK
#1

I have to use react-native-tts instead of Expo Speech module because there is a huge difference between default iOS voice Expo uses and the native siri one you can pick.

On iOS, it’s basically just adding

utterance.voice = [AVSpeechSynthesisVoice voiceWithIdentifier:voice]

https://github.com/ak1394/react-native-tts can be used as a reference

Can someone update Speech module to support setting voice or point me to where I can find it to make PR?

Hey @andrey,

If this is urgent for you, it’d be best to submit a PR since as far as I know, this isn’t in the pipeline to be added to the SDK near-term. Our source of truth is this repo https://github.com/expo/expo

Cheers,

Adam
