All of a sudden yesterday Safari crashes 5-10 seconds after launch. This happens over and over again if I relaunch. The crash report lists something "create-voices-avspeech"

Slightly easier fix:
I had essentially the same problem. Web pages making every browser crash.
System settings crashing on Accessibility-> Spoken Content and Live Speech
I went into preferences and found that the only recently changed pref was:
com.apple.SpeakSelection.plist
So I deleted that and System Settings Accessibility-> Spoken Content and Live Speech immediately began to work again and web pages began to display without crashing.

I found that file after using the finder go to folder and deleted it. All seems to be back to normal now.
Thanks.
Great news my friend! :)
