Voice Names

Starting this release, we will display the actual voice names. This means that, if you have the voice selector enabled, your users might see “English (US) – Sophie” instead of “English (US)”. #6436, #6830

A voice selector menu item with a US flag, a woman icon and the text English (US). will become Voice selector menu item with a US flag and the text English (US) - Sophie.
