speechSynthesis

Performs speech synthesis (experimental).

Use SpeechSynthesisUtterance.voice and window.speechSynthesis.getVoices() to convert a message to speech. Use window.speechSynthesis.speak() to play the message.

Learn more about the SpeechSynthesisUtterance interface of the Web Speech API.

const speechSynthesis = message => {
  const msg = new SpeechSynthesisUtterance(message);
  msg.voice = window.speechSynthesis.getVoices()[0];
  window.speechSynthesis.speak(msg);
};
speechSynthesis('Hello, World'); // // plays the message
