Hi, sorry for the crazy delay on this! I'm reviewing past open issues that were more feature requests than bugs. Also thanks for the ttsspeed, I didn't know about that. I will implement that.

As for using Web proxies and encoding, it's also planned. Probably in the next big release.

Hi! gTTS 1.2.0 was released. It passes the system proxies transparently using urllib.request.getproxies() without having to specifically define them.

I think the best way might be giving the possibility to give the proxy configs as parameter to the function gTTS

You shouldn't need to do this anymore, since gTTS will just read what's defined. urllib will pass along any proxies you have defined as *_poxy environment variable
