This is an experimental technology
Because this technology's specification has not stabilized, check the compatibility table for usage in various browsers. Also note that the syntax and behavior of an experimental technology is subject to change in future versions of browsers as the specification changes.
The onend
property of the SpeechSynthesisUtterance
interface represents an event handler that will run when the utterance has finished being spoken (when the end
event fires.)
Syntax
speechSynthesisUtteranceInstance.onend = 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.onend = function(event) {
console.log('Utterance has finished being spoken after ' + event.elapsedTime + ' milliseconds.');
}
inputTxt.blur();
}
