Modern web browsers, by spec, are supposed to support Speech Synthesis. Although Firefox does indeed support it, it doesn't work in Kubuntu 19.10.
On this very page, you should be able to have Firefox read it aloud by typing shift-ctrl-I and then entering this code-line into the console (and pressing enter):
speechSynthesis.speak(new SpeechSynthesisUtterance(document.getElementsByTagName("body")[0].innerText));
Something shorter, that you could type into the console (for testing) is:
speechSynthesis.speak(new SpeechSynthesisUtterance("testing 1, 2, 3");
You should be able to hear the browser say "testing 1, 2, 3" after doing this, but it doesn't working Kubuntu 19.10.
This works in Ubuntu 19.10 and Windows 10, but doesn't work in Kubuntu 19.10. I'm reporting this in hopes that it gets fixed before Kubuntu 20.04.

Modern web browsers, by spec, are supposed to support Speech Synthesis. Although Firefox does indeed support it, it doesn't work in Kubuntu 20.04.
On this very page, you should be able to have Firefox read it aloud by typing shift-ctrl-I and then entering this code-line into the console (and pressing enter):
speechSynthesis.speak(new SpeechSynthesisUtterance(document.getElementsByTagName("body")[0].innerText));
Something shorter, that you could type into the console (for testing) is:
speechSynthesis.speak(new SpeechSynthesisUtterance("testing 1, 2, 3");
You should be able to hear the browser say "testing 1, 2, 3" after doing this, but it doesn't working Kubuntu 20.04.
This works in Ubuntu 20.04 and Windows 10, but doesn't work in Kubuntu 20.04. I'm reporting this in hopes that it gets fixed in a manner where all Kubuntu user can enjoy Speech Synthesis by default.
Currently, to enable Speech Synthesis in Firefox, on Kubuntu 20.04, you have to manually install speech-dispatcher and restart Firefox:
sudo apt install speech-dispatcher
The main purpose of this bug is to request that speech-dispatcher be installed by default because Firefox needs it to be complaint with modern web standards.
Additionally, the Kubuntu team should put this task into their release-checklist, for all future builds of Kubuntu, so that the desktop's speech-dispatcher is always there for the applications that expect its availability.
