--- Comment #3 from Simplissimus <kde.shieling at aleeas.com> ---
LineageOS, and I guess other "distros" based on AOSP too, uses the TTS system
of Google. Is it possible to use them in Okular, and discard speech-dispatcher?
Well, I don't know if S-D should be discarded or it could use Googles voices,
in any case, would be it possible to use them instead of those "Stephen
Hawkins'" ones used currently without infringing some  license or so? I don't
think that LineageOS and other popular ROMs are breaking the law when using
Google's open sourced technologies, am I right?

If it were possible, TTS in Linux would be finally usable. We lack many decent
accessibility solutions. Some people use their web browser and one of those TTS
plugins that load documents in the browser and use tolerable voices, but thats
just botching.
