SpeechSynthesis.speaking
The speaking
read-only property of the
SpeechSynthesis
interface is a boolean value that returns
true
if an utterance is currently in the process of being spoken — even
if SpeechSynthesis
is in a
paused
state.
Value
A boolean value.
Examples
var synth = window.speechSynthesis;
var utterance1 = new SpeechSynthesisUtterance('How about we say this now? This is quite a long sentence to say.');
var utterance2 = new SpeechSynthesisUtterance('We should say another sentence too, just to be on the safe side.');
synth.speak(utterance1);
synth.speak(utterance2);
var amISpeaking = synth.speaking; // will return true if utterance 1 or utterance 2 are currently being spoken
