If you're curious about trying this out, that's the 3 lines of code below 👇
var msg = new SpeechSynthesisUtterance();
msg.text = "Hello World";

Unfortunately it didn't work for me
Hi Josias,
Please note that the speechSynthesis API is not yet supported on all browsers.
The code below help you check for browser support:
I use Chrome and it's says my browser supports it
Check out MDN's speak easy synthesis demo which works on Chrome. There's two things you need to do to set it up properly:
1) As is the case with the Web Audio API generally, Chromium Browsers will not allow audio to be played without the user interacting with the page first. You need to put the speech synthesis code behind an event listener for some page event like a button click.
2) It seems that Chrome, unlike FireFox, does not have access to system voices when
speechSynthesisis initialised for the first time. You need to add an event listener which refers to a function when the voices are found, something like -speechSynthesis.onvoiceschanged = getVoices. The technology is still experimental so I expect this will change in the future.codepen.io/richardengle/pen/KKNzKXg is my version of this, combined with some hacks. try it :]

This is old but see my comment. You need to wait for voices to load.
I am not getting make the code to work.
I am using firefox in linux OS
The browser can detect the SpeechSynthesisUtterance() but there is no voice or
any sound. I noticed that window.speechSynthesis.getVoices() don't return any voice.
You will need to have a text-to-speech dispatcher installed first, otherwise there's no TTS to use. See wiki.archlinux.org/title/List_of_a... for reference.
Beware, the default voice locale is not the locale of the browser but the locale of the system. Be sure to always define the
msg.lang(and the OS will switch to the right voice by itself).Wow, I'd never noticed that.
Thanks for the great insight Boris.
I can do it one in one line of code:
window.speechSynthesis.speak(new SpeechSynthesisUtterance("Hello World"));🙊
NOTE:
getVoicesdoesn't work on page load in Chrome. See StackOverflow: Getting the list of voices in speechSynthesis (Web Speech API)Thanks you make this so simple.
Nice 👏
I didn't know it is built in. Awesome
Amazing
Toppppp.
How I'd export audio?
Great, how can download the voice
Mind blown. Thanks! That's what Stephen Hawking used, right? :D
Might be! :D
Nice. Any idea how to make it sound more human?
nothing to work!
