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();
}
