This works properly, it speaks the text area on click, but how can I change it to speak onload
?
<script src="http://responsivevoice.org/responsivevoice/responsivevoice.js"></script>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-git2.js"></script>
<textarea id="text" cols="45" rows="3"> HHHH</textarea>
<select id="voiceselection"></select>
<input onclick="responsiveVoice.speak($('#text').val(),$('#voiceselection').val());" type="button" value="Play" />
<br>
<button id="isPlaying">Playing:</button>
<p id="r">?</p>
Text area just says four letters now.
I imagine this is the key part, but can not fit it into anything properly to execute:
responsiveVoice.speak($('#text').val(),$('US English Female').val());
I tried:
var voicelist = responsiveVoice.getVoices();
var vselect = $("#voiceselection");
$.each(voicelist, function() {
vselect.append($("<option />").val(this.name).text(this.name));
});
// Yours
$('#isPlaying').on('click', function() {
$('#r').text(window.speechSynthesis.speaking)
})
$(document).ready(function() { //short code: $(function() { ... });
responsiveVoice.speak($('#text').val(), $('US English Female').val());
});
<script src="http://responsivevoice.org/responsivevoice/responsivevoice.js"></script>
<script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-git2.js"></script>
<textarea id="text" cols="45" rows="3">It reads this</textarea>
<select id="voiceselection"></select>
<script>
</script>
<input onclick="responsiveVoice.speak($('#text').val(),$('US English Female').val());" type="button" value="Play" />
But I get a "No voice found for: undefined" error.
Hook into the OnVoiceReady
handler, then try to speak once the default voice, etc. is loaded:
responsiveVoice.OnVoiceReady = function() {
console.log("speech time?");
responsiveVoice.speak($('#text').val());
};
<script src="//cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script src="//responsivevoice.org/responsivevoice/responsivevoice.js"></script>
<textarea id="text" cols="45" rows="3">one two three</textarea>
Thanks for using ResponsiveVoice!
You should attach to the OnReady
event using this code:
responsiveVoice.addEventListener("OnReady", myInitFunction);
as it's not enough to wait until page load. You need to wait until voices are loaded.
why wont this run on iphone safari?
Apple prevents any speech to be initiated without a user action. So you would need to trigger speak() after a button click, for example.
also why does it stop working after after 4 or 5 refresh after 10
seconds on android broswer?
ResponsiveVoice has some issues on Android devices. We're working on fixing it. We recommend using our latest release which you can find here:
https://code.responsivevoice.org/develop/responsivevoice.js
Don't use inline event handling. Use abstracted events. It makes for easier to understand/read code.
$(document).ready(function() { //short code: $(function() { ... });
responsiveVoice.speak($('#text').val(),$('#voiceselection').val());
});
The document ready event is triggered when the DOM is finished loading.
No jQuery version:
window.onload
, using the new ES6 standard arrow function. No jQuery needed!
window.onload = () => {
responsiveVoice.speak(document.getElementById("text").value, document.getElementById("voiceselection").value);
}
According to the official site, the second argument must be a valid voice type, but in your example, the element voiceselection has no values, then the API fails. If you try with the default voice, the API will succeed!
var text = $('#text').val(),
voice = $('#voiceselection').val();
//success
responsiveVoice.speak(text); //HHHH
//fails
responsiveVoice.speak(text, voice); //HHHH, ""
//Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'mappedProfile' of null(…)
