Feature request: Add MultiTTS voices support

Please add MultiTTS voices support. I talking about that Android app that can load zip voices (samsung, microsoft, acapella, vocalizer, etc.)

Interesting idea. However, some part of it might not be feasible.

Windows and Android are different platforms, so executables on one platform cannot be run directly on another platform. Software publishers usually have to prepare different versions/distributions for different platforms, although the functionality is roughly the same.

MultiTTS specifically uses the Android version of the voice libraries. The Microsoft natural voice library happens to provide both a Windows version and an Android version, so this project and MultiTTS can use the same Microsoft voices. However, other Android voices might not have a Windows version at all.

HTTP-based online voices are easier to port to Windows, since network requests are standardized and platform-independent. So maybe I'll consider supporting HTTP voices.

MultiTTS has a "forwarder" feature, which allows another device in the same LAN to connect to MultiTTS running on the phone, let the phone synthesize the speech, then fetch the speech back. So when HTTP voices are supported, using MultiTTS voices on your PC (while actually running the voices on your phone) will become possible.
