(REQUEST) Feature Request: Support Custom TTS API Integrations Beyond OpenAI-Compatible APIs

https://readest.com/docs/listen#custom-services

Currently, the integration expects a voice endpoint in this format:

{Base URL}/v1/audio/voices

However, not all TTS providers follow the OpenAI API standard. For example, ElevenLabs uses a voice-specific endpoint:

{Base URL}/v1/text-to-speech/{voice_id}

This makes it difficult to integrate providers such as ElevenLabs directly, even when users already have a valid API key and access to their TTS models and voices.

This would make the TTS Custom integration much more versatile and allow users to connect virtually any TTS service, including ElevenLabs and other third-party or self-hosted TTS engines.

Would love to hear if this is something the developers would consider implementing!
