As Olivier pointed out, the issue remains that speechSynthesis (a web standard that major browsers support in other operating systems) is not working Kubuntu 20.04 or Ubuntu 20.04. These are long term support releases. Where is the support? I reported this two years ago. What about the visual impaired people that depend on speechSynthesis?
To reproduce this bug, open Chromium on any web page and then hit ctrl-shift-I. At the console type (or copy/paste):
speechSynthesis.speak(new SpeechSynthesisUtterance("Testing 1 2 3"));
If you do not hear your browser speak "Testing 1 2 3", the bug is not fixed. Try the same test on Windows 10 to experience speechSynthesis working as expected.
