I've just added this idea "* Per module assignment of speech synthesis voices, or none." in http://crosswire.org/wiki/Frontends:FeatureList#General_UI_features http://crosswire.org/wiki/Frontends:FeatureList#General_UI_features
My suggestion is prompted by learning about the http://www.ivona.com/ IVONA *TTS Engine* for Android, and the choice of voices available for various languages. Some languages already have more than one voice. e.g. Geraint or Gwyneth for Welsh. "Geraint and Gwyneth, first natural sounding Welsh voices are now available, for individuals and non-commercial entities in the UK for free, as a result of partnership between the Welsh Government, the Royal National Institute of Blind People and IVONA. " Arfon Jones just installed this with his Android phone, and has used it successfully with *and-bible* to read passages from the WelBeiblNet module. He's very pleased with it. Minor quirks are the occasional reading out of the word "comma" when the punctuation is present. btw. IVONA is still in Beta, and is free of charge until the end of the Beta period. /I'm merely using this as an example, not seeking to advertise on their behalf./ This is something for front-end developers to consider, in as much as it relates to the UI and the platform, as well as any preloaded TTS engine and/or installed TTS application.
