SpeechSynthesisUtterance.onpause
Experimental
This is an experimental technology
Check the Browser compatibility table carefully before using this in production.
The onpause
property of the
SpeechSynthesisUtterance
interface represents an event handler that will
run when the utterance is paused part way through (when the
pause
event fires.)
This occurs when the SpeechSynthesis.pause()
method is invoked.
Syntax
speechSynthesisUtteranceInstance.onpause = 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.onpause = function(event) {
console.log('Speech paused after ' + event.elapsedTime + ' milliseconds.');
}
inputTxt.blur();
}
