Currently speech synthesis is available in nightly only. This bug will track the blockers, and ultimately offer a patch for enabling synth everywhere on desktop.

Once the SpeechSynthesisErrorEvent bug lands, I think we should turn this puppy on! Hopefully before the next merge..
So we have sorted out all those issues that we were supporting some OS dependent syntax for SpeechSynthesisUtterance? Now only text or SSML is supported, right?

We don't support SSML intentionally until we get it right and secure on all platforms.

Embedded speech commands are disabled in windows (bug 1237546), and mac (bug 1267309). In linux it was disabled all along (there is SSML support that is disabled by default).

followup, adjust test_interfaces.html to expect that the SpeechSynthesis API is riding the trains. r=smaug
I've updated all the relevant browser compat tables underneath the https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Speech_API docs, and added a note in the relevant release notes:
