Add new Whisper and Say with voice-commands #18

@akafred

Description

@akafred

"Say with voice" and "Whisper with voice"-commands would enable me to issue voice outputs to Alexa in my language (the Amazon Polly Liv-voice reads like a Norwegian).

The commands could be something like 'Say "text" using "voice"' and 'Whisper "text" using "voice"', where the voice option could be in a dropdown.

Not sure if there is a way to detect the supported voices, but I found a list of standard voices I think are supported.

I believe the implementation of this is relatively straightforward by wrapping the output text in SSML-tags and changing a couple of parameters in the API call.
