Not an issue, but a suggestion:
I tried to use whisper.
But, since I am using Linux, I prefer using "espeak" and all wonderful resources it provides...
Many voices, phonology output, et.al.

I just select the text I want to hear and issue:
:!espeak -ven-gb
and hear the robotized voice of espeak...
If I want to record the text I can redirect the stdout to an ogg/mp3/wav file...

speech synthesis using espeak (by means of greader) is already supported. I've now documented it here: https://github.com/rksm/org-ai#espeak--greader
Basically, just install the greader package from elpa and it should work.

I'm not aware that espeak is able to do speech-to-text, though. Am I missing something?
