Additional context
not sure why the codes would change as it's standardized by Web Speech API, doesn't it?
this is the correct mapping as of today.

The voice has been updated so this is no longer an issue. Just wondering how the voices code mapping changed. Was this changed on teh Web API side or from this library?

Hey @nonoumasy did your browsers / os update since the last check? I know for sure, that Apple made lots of changes in their TTS voices recentrly, causing lots of trouble.

Since ios 16 there are also not all voices available anymore. This is on Apple unfortunately and a system-level setting we can't really influence.

One approach might be to create an algorithm that makes sure the voices are always sorted and filtered, based on heuristics, rather than specific voice names.

thanks. I disabled the tts feature on iOS since safari always had issues with the web speech api. But the issue was present on desktop chrome. At the moment, the mapping seems to be ok.
