Why include it in your app though? That's inefficient and inconsistent. If your OS has speech support, using that is going to be the best experience for the user. We definitely do need a good FOSS speech library, but it should only be used in a backend for speech-dispatcher and backend/headless apps, not anything user-facing. The OS exist for a reason.

Linux doesn't. It'd be nice if all OS's did but until then, you have to do it in your own app. Why only as a backend? Why not just compiled into applications that use it like any other library?

From your OS? If your can't trust your OS, you have bigger problems.
