Import the library :
import Speech from 'speak-tts' // es6
// var Speech = require('speak-tts') //if you use es5
Check for browser support :
const speech = new Speech() // will throw an exception if not browser supported
if(speech.hasBrowserSupport()) { // returns a boolean
console.log("speech synthesis supported")
}
Init the speech component :
const speech = new Speech()
speech.init().then((data) => {
// The "data" object contains the list of available voices and the voice synthesis params
console.log("Speech is ready, voices are available", data)
}).catch(e => {
console.error("An error occured while initializing : ", e)
})
You can pass the following properties to the init function:
// Example with full conf
Speech.init({
'volume': 1,
'lang': 'en-GB',
'rate': 1,
'pitch': 1,
'voice':'Google UK English Male',
'splitSentences': true,
'listeners': {

console.log("Event voiceschanged", voices)
}
}
