Register as a OneCore voice as well
Some programs no longer use the sapi5. for example brave browser, or Calibre by default. i'm not quite sure what the api they use is called, but i believe it is winspeech

Yes, currently Chromium browsers and UWP apps only support OneCore voices, not SAPI 5 voices.
(But also thanks to that, Microsoft Edge doesn't show a duplicated item for each online voice, when using this engine with Edge voices enabled.)
However, here's what Microsoft says in the documentation about OneCore SpeechSynthesizer:
Only Microsoft-signed voices installed on the system can be used to generate speech.
There's no way this engine could be signed by Microsoft...
Also I haven't found documentation about how to implement your own OneCore TTS engine, so I guess that it's impossible.
So, is it not showing up in Chrome's extension because of OneCore? I'm looking forward to supporting it
