Text-to-Speech - Not connecting

Good afternoon,

I have been trying to edit previous text-to-speech items and continue to receive the following error message: Unable to connect. Check your internet connection and try again. 

I also tried to add a new text-to-speech item and received the same message. I installed a previous version and attempted both steps, receiving the same message in both instances. Does anyone know if text-to-speech is currently unavailable or when it may be fixed?

My coworker is also experiencing the same issue.

Thank you!
