There is is Feature Request , so you can vote here . Currently working in openhab

Alexa Announce Feature - Text to Speach via Alexa now a possability?

With Amazon rolling out the new Announce function for Echo’s, will this open up possibilities for Ha to add in TTS support as it works for the Google Assistant/Home? The feature is live on my Australian Echo’s now, and works making a recording of what I say and then repeating it to all other Echo devices on my network. It would be great to see this integrated in HA.
