Very nice work, Norbert. I have had an absolute ton of fun playing with your older version and ended up writing wrapper library around your code to add some similar features (webworkers, voices, visualizer) but done in a slightly different way.

Here's a test application with workers still disabled for iOS, but enabled for Android: https://www.masswerk.at/mespeak/android-worker-test.html

Can anyone confirm that this is working on Android? (If so, I'll push this to the release.)

Interesting! Workers fail for me on iOS (even with an ontouch-preplay/unlocker. Can you confirm Android?

If so, I may enable them again for Android based systems.

Actually I edited my comment because I couldn't remember if it works on IOS. I just double checked and yeah my code fails on IOS also but does work fine (albeit slowly) on Android.

Please check this test application:

It didn't seem to work on my tablet (samsung tab, few years old).

Thanks! (Even, if reasults aren't what we may have hoped for.)

Feel free to look through my code, I haven't touched it in a few months but does seem to work alright on Android. I had to change how the espeak files get loaded quite a bit.

Works fine on Pixel 2XL on Android Q, latest version of mobile Chrome.
