Add text to speech for replies in Assistant

Thibaultmol

Whlie obv having a full on 'speech recog in' 'tts out' solution like in the chatgpt app is probably something people want. i prefer having the actual assistant chat screen.
BUT I often just want to listen to the assistant's reply instead of reading it.

I like asking a question, having it think, and then say the answer as i'm washing my hands in meantime or whatever.
I want the chat ui to stay visible as it's saying it's reply. somewhat similar to chatgpt app maybe?

ideally it should be able to start talking when the llm response comes in. i shouldn't have to wait till the full answer has been given.

I’d love an option for mp3 output or downloading a reply as an mp3

I initially swapped from perplexity to the ultimate plan to test out the Assistant to find it quite functional. I enjoy its features immensely more except, prior I had used a LOT of text to voice while I was busy and about in the house doing activites as I researched various topics.

The current voice to text is great, but feels half done without a proper TTS. The quality doesn't matter to me as much in the short term, I just want to be able to listen to the response to free myself up.

So if possible, please add a TTS to work with the current STT for a better hands off experience.
