Chromevox needs changing

Reported by nthrei...@gmail.com, Aug 20

Issue description

Chromevox on beta compared to stable is inaccessible.
When in the files app, chromevox doesn't say what you are focusing on in real time, especially when changing from 1 storage system to another.
Also, there is a slight delay before chromevox speaks the item you are on.
By defalt, the chromevox uses the android TTS engine compared to the chrome OS's defalt voices.
What if android isn't instaled?
Worse, there is no UK voice so people have to stick with the anoying US voice.
It also should be  noted that chromevox needs re-enabling every so.
Version: 69.0.3497.35
Reproduction Steps:

Status: Fixed (was: Unconfirmed)
In Chrome OS 69, Chrome ships with fewer pre-installed voices. You can download a variety of voices, including two UK voices, if you go to Chrome settings -> accessibility -> text to speech settings.
chrome://settings/manageAccessibility/tts (is a quicker way to get there).

Press the Google text to speech settings button and you'll see all new voices. 

thanks for that, it helps
