The primary factors that distinguish a voice in speech synthesis are language, locale, and quality. Create an instance of AVSpeechSynthesisVoice to select a voice that’s appropriate for the text and the language, and set it as the value of the voice property on an AVSpeechUtterance instance. The voice may optionally reflect a local variant of the language, such as Australian or South African English.
This is an abstract class. You can't create an instance, but you can get one from various plugin functions.
