Using Microsoft attributes with Google TTS

In my application, I am already using Google TTS but I am amazed by Microsoft TTS because they are providing a lot more useful attributes than Google. Since I am more familiar with Google, I would like to keep my implementation but would still like to be able to use MS attributes like:
<mstts:express-as style="cheerful">
That'd be just amazing!
</mstts:express-as>
Is that possible?
There are no style attributes in Google Text-to-Speech, but you can change the Standard voice to a WaveNet voice[1].
The WaveNet voice synthesizes speech with more human-like emphasis and inflection on syllables, phonemes, and words. You can see all the supported voices in Google Text-to-Speech[2].

For text-to-speech functionality, as per documentation of react-native-tts looks simple. you could implement that.
Hope it helps. feel free for doubts

What is powering the Google Translate speech synthesis feature?

Does anyone know what software is behind the speech synthesis feature on Google Translate - it does a pretty good job in a number of languages.
I'm not sure but I found;
eSpeak
eSpeak is a compact open source software speech synthesizer for
English and other languages, for Linux and Windows.

Google has their own technology. If they would tell us how they do everything, no one would use their services anymore.

Starting a Text to Speech in your Language

Is there any opensource library that I could use to feed the letters and sounds and produce a text to speech system.
What must I do to start from scratch? Python would be my language of choice so where must I be headed to develop my own text to speech in my language.
Here's a list of a few Open Source TTS engines:
MBrola
FreeTTS
Festival Speech Synthesis
FLite
Festvox
GnuSpeech
Epos Speech
Maybe one of the covers what you're looking for.

text to speech - microsoft TTS SDK supports the Arabic language?

i would like to know if the microsoft TTS SDK supports the Arabic language. If it does how? If it does not, is there any way to convert arabic text to speech?
please, i want my program to read arabic text using VB 2008.
Microsoft's TTS SDK (SAPI) is language-agnostic - it relies on TTS engines to actually transform the text to speech.
That being said, as far as I know, there are no free Arabic TTS engines available.
Acapela has an Arabic male and female voice available for purchase, but I have no idea how much it costs.
