I am uncertain if the textfield is a good UI element.
Due to the fact, that the site builder has to know such details about the functionality things can go wrong here.
Is there any helpful documentation on the ReadSpeaker docs how the voice-parameter work?
It could be hard or impossible to get a nice UI here which leads the user in the correct way for setting up language and voice pairs. - 🇩🇰Denmark ressa Copenhagen
I agree @sunlix, the user needs to know what to enter in the field, from which voices are available for the individual language. Should the field be hidden under an "Advanced" fieldset?
I don't have a ReadSpeaker account, so I can't check, but I guess most or all of the voices are language-specific. Here are the voices used on the example page https://www.readspeaker.com/languages-voices/:

I have written to ReadSpeaker support, asking if they can help clarify this, and will post their answer here.

Thanks @ressa for your support.
A mapping table with the supported languages per voice would help to clarify the usage and design the UX properly. - 🇩🇰Denmark ressa Copenhagen
ReadSpeaker Support has answered me, that there is no fixed list of voices as they develop new voices all the time and also support new languages, so such a list would be inaccurate very quickly. The customer can find the available voices in their customer portal. If no voice is defined in the call, the service will pick one from the available voices that matches the language defined in the
href
.So maybe this could be considered for Voice settings?
- Place it under a collapsed "Advanced" fieldset
- Append extra text Find available voices under Customer Portal > "Voices" to the help text, updating it to this:
'#description' => $this->t('Enter male or female language voice name. English language examples: Alice or Hugh. Only relevant in case your account has more than one voice per language. Find available voices under Customer Portal > "Voices"'),
