Test if new text to speech languages are added

You can now test if any additional language is added by grabbing a Chromebook in the Organization Unit you added the app on.

1. Start the Digiexam app on the Chromebook

2. Fill in credentials if needed and click on "OK"

3. Click on "Start Demo exam" in the bottom-left corner and start the demo exam from the box that appears

4. Click on the cogwheel in the top-left corner and then click on the drop-down list next to the "Voice" feature

5. Check if for example "Svenska-SE" is in the list that is not a native installed text to speech language in Chrome OS. If it is there you can now use the new text to speech language freely.

6. If your language does not appear, try handing in the exam and starting it again, when testing this we noticed that the language does not always appear on the first start of an exam but is then added on the second start.
