SpeechSynthesisVoice.default
The default
read-only property of the
SpeechSynthesisVoice
interface returns a boolean value
indicating whether the voice is the default voice for the current app
(true
), or not (false
.)
Note: For some devices, it might be the default voice for the voice's language. The spec is not very clear on which it should be, so some implementations may differ.
Value
A boolean value.
Examples
for (let i = 0; i < voices.length ; i++) {
const option = document.createElement('option');
option.textContent = `${voices[i].name} (${voices[i].lang})`;
if (voices[i].default) {
option.textContent += ' — DEFAULT';
}
option.setAttribute('data-lang', voices[i].lang);
option.setAttribute('data-name', voices[i].name);
voiceSelect.appendChild(option);
