I believe this may be doable on iOS as well by generating a sound file on the fly in the notification service extension. |

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When I'm on my Mac, I am typically using noise cancelling headphones and listening to music. So it's sometimes hard or impossible to hear TTS announcements on my Google Home or Alexa, or hear my phone vibrating for a new notification.
It would be pretty useful if you could leverage your Mac's built-in text to speech to send a TTS. Would be especially useful for important notifications that you don't want to miss ("intruder detected at back door!").
Describe the solution you'd like
Basic example, uses the default system voice and speaking rate under System Prefs -> Accessibility -> Spoken Content:
This would be equivalent to typing
say "This message will be spoken out loud by your Mac. Awesome!"
in the Terminal.Full example (optional), change the voice and speaking rate:
This would be equivalent to typing
say -v Alex "This message will be spoken out loud by your Mac. Awesome!" -r 240
in the Terminal.Describe alternatives you've considered
Rather than creating a secondary notify service like the examples above, it could be part of the default one service, and the user would just specify
type: tts
to make it speak rather than sending a text notification.Additional context
