// Module Overview: Starboard Speech Synthesis API
//
// A basic text-to-speech API intended to be used for audio accessibilty.
//
// Implementations of this API should audibly play back text to assist
// users in non-visual navigation of the application.
//
// Note that these functions do not have to be thread-safe. They must
// only be called from a single application thread.
