Variables

`read onlypaused:Bool`

A Boolean that returns true if the SpeechSynthesis object is in a paused state.

`read onlypending:Bool`

A Boolean that returns true if the utterance queue contains as-yet-unspoken utterances.

`read onlyspeaking:Bool`

A Boolean that returns true if an utterance is currently in the process of being spoken — even if SpeechSynthesis is in a paused state.

Methods

`cancel ():Void`

Removes all utterances from the utterance queue.

`getVoices ():Array<SpeechSynthesisVoice>`

Returns a list of SpeechSynthesisVoice objects representing all the available voices on the current device.

`pause ():Void`

Puts the SpeechSynthesis object into a paused state.

`resume ():Void`

Puts the SpeechSynthesis object into a non-paused state: resumes it if it was already paused.
