SpeechSynthesisUtterance.onboundary
Experimental: This is an experimental technology
Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.
The onboundary
property of the SpeechSynthesisUtterance
interface represents an event handler that will run when the spoken utterance reaches a word or sentence boundary (when the boundary
event fires.)
Syntax
speechSynthesisUtteranceInstance.onboundary = function() { ... };
Examples
var synth = window.speechSynthesis; var inputForm = document.querySelector('form'); var inputTxt = document.querySelector('input'); var voiceSelect = document.querySelector('select'); var voices = synth.getVoices(); ... inputForm.onsubmit = function(event) { event.preventDefault(); var utterThis = new SpeechSynthesisUtterance(inputTxt.value); var selectedOption = voiceSelect.selectedOptions[0].getAttribute('data-name'); for(i = 0; i < voices.length ; i++) { if(voices[i].name === selectedOption) { utterThis.voice = voices[i]; } } synth.speak(utterThis); utterThis.onboundary = function(event) { console.log(event.name + ' boundary reached after ' + event.elapsedTime + ' seconds.'); } inputTxt.blur(); }
