I can confirm that this does not work in any version of Ubuntu. For example, it does not work in 16.04, 19.04, and it even doesn't work via the snap package installation forced by Ubuntu 19.10: https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/call-for-testing-chromium-browser-deb-to-snap-transition/11179
If you need to test this, go to any of the articles listed here: http://www.howtoadvice.com/ If you open an article in Firefox, the browser will read the article to you. If you open an article in Chromium, it will not. ** Tags added: snap -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1792300 Title: Chromium Speech Synthesis Not Working To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/chromium-browser/+bug/1792300/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
