 * @param {Boolean} [options.format=true] - pipe the text through a {FormatStream} which performs light formatting
 * @param {Boolean} [options.keepMicrophone=false] - keeps an internal reference to the microphone stream to reuse in subsequent calls (prevents multiple permissions dialogs in firefox)
