I can confirm this doesn't work in chromium, neither snap (tested in 19.10) nor deb (tested in 18.04).

Note that with the deb, I'm seeing the following message:

    INFO:CONSOLE(765) "speechSynthesis.speak() without user activation is no longer allowed since M71, around December 2018. See https://www.chromestatus.com/feature/5687444770914304 for more details"

Lonnie, your CardTrick page will need to be updated to speak only upon user activation.

This isn't the root cause of the problem though, speech synthesis doesn't work in chromium even if user activated.
