Request you add MS Text-to-speech API into DCS Scripting Engine

[TEMPEST.114]

It's free to include and would mean we can change the voice and make units talk dynamically to what players are doing.

Yep, this kindda ties into the in game voice comms, we need an API to use it. Right now we can mission script into the Google, MS and Azure TTS as much as we like but only via Ciribobs SRS External Audio executable, for which you need to disable the default sanitization for OS module in Lua in your missionscripting.lua file. If you want to go further you can avoid that with plugins, which are even more invasive globally and have a low level maintenance attached to check they are installed, updated and supported, rather than a mission by mission approach.

Not using the TTS capabilities in the cloud is not an option to me, the voices of the paid tier are so good and so immersive and you can write text for them whatever way you want that it was the best innovation of 2021 as far as I am concerned with DCS. It's basically free on demand voice acting that you can assemble sentences from via scripting. Just insanely powerful and cool. No need to ever hear Wags's "Hey what are you doing" voice again.

Actually, one of my most wanted features to have native TTS support in DCS.

I concur, this is so much demanded and needed option. I managed to get Google TTS via MOOSE and SRS, but it's unplayable on non-dedicated server, because I get that CMD popups. Also, desanitasing mission environment troubles me.
