I'm not sure exactly. It is currently using the browser's speech synthesis functionality. I think Chrome has some languages shipped with it while Firefox may rely solely on the OS. I will probably need to switch away from the browser to get a consistent experience.
FF on Fedora 25 showed lots of languages, FYI.
My Firefox on Windows shows no languages available, as does Edge on Windows, while Chrome on Windows shows a handful of languages available.
Edit to say: what a fantastic and useful little tool! It is small focused, and very useful.
