gTTS.js (Google Text to Speech): a ported version of gTTS python library which is
a interface to Google's Text to Speech API. Create an mp3 file with the gTTS
module or gtts-cli command line utility. It allows for unlimited lengths of
spoken text by tokenizing long sentences where the speech would naturally pause.
