Thank you for the awesome content! Your app inspired me to create a spin-off app for my son who loves numbers. He's been asking how to say some of the big numbers. [sightnumbers.netlify.app](https://sightnumbers.netlify.app/)

I love it! How many languages is it using? I swear I heard at least 4. What api did you use for the voice? I'd love to incorporate it into my sight words app.

[Barbara](https://hashnode.com/@blawblawLaw) I used the [Web Speech API](https://wicg.github.io/speech-api/) and referenced this [repo](https://github.com/mdn/web-speech-api)'s Speak easy synthesis demo to add a list of voices. I made some changes so that users can now choose the alternative language. I'm having too much fun with this lol :)
