• @Ssathya: Thank you for submitting your proposal! I will decline this proposal for now since there is an existing solution. Please take a look at mw:Extension:Wikispeech. We can bring your proposal back if the extension does not solve your problem. Thank you again. Harumi Monroy 22:01, 25 November 2020 (UTC)
