Description
Apple tts has a nice sugarcandy which would be incredibly useful in shell scripts - the possibility to embed commands into the text such as [[emph +]], [[slnc 6000]], [[volm +0.4]]. Could also use [[beep duration pitch]] or [[play file.ogg]] which apple does not seem to have.
I found the Android Pico TTS supports it (Chapter 7 of its documentation) and a few related stackoverflow posts:

Not sure if it can work without speacial help of termux-api?

Research direction
Start at the tts-speak command and compare the requested embedded commands with Apple's Speech Synthesis Programming Guide and Chapter 7 of the Android Pico TTS documentation. Investigate whether termux-api support is required and define how commands such as [[emph +]], [[slnc 6000]], [[volm +0.4]], [[beep duration pitch]], and [[play file.ogg]] should be handled before implementing them.
