SSML Voice Customization

[esgraham]

Description

As an application developer and a plugin user, I'd like to have the ability to send in SSML properties, in order to customize the voice in both Android and iOS.

Acceptance Criteria

• When calling the Cordova plugin for text to speech, provide an option for sending the variables used in creating the SSML xml string.
• The voice should match the variables given when speaking.

Speech Synthesis Markup Language (SSML)

Would be great to be able to leverage the SSML that is generated in the Speech Studio that when pasted in a "config" file we could parse the settings to send as part of the request.

For example...the below request is the en-UK voice Susan at a 90% rate of speed.
