Description
**Your Godot version:**
Godot v4.6.beta3
**Issue description:**
The documentation for `DisplayServer.tts_speak()` is ambiguous whether the volume parameter is linear or some sort of decibel scale.
> `volume` ranges from `0` (lowest) to `100` (highest).
Elsewhere, documentation suggests using `linear_to_db()` in order to convert from linear energy values to a decibel float; it is unclear whether such a conversion is needed for this value if we are setting its value using a linear slider interface.
