Text-to-Speech Demo

You can checkout the full article on Scotch: Building Text-to-Speech Apps for the Web.

This project contains a demo source code showing how to build a simple text-to-speech voice app for the web using the Web Speech API.

Here is a screenshot of the application demo(without the sound):

Getting Started

These instructions will get you a copy of the project up and running on your local machine for development and testing purposes. Before you begin, make sure you have npm and node installed on your system.

Run the following commands to get started.

npm install
npm start

The app will run on port 5000 by default. If you would prefer another port, you can specify it in the server.js file. Look for the following line in the file and replace 5000 with your desired port.

const PORT = process.env.PORT || 5000;

web-speech-demo's Issues

Just wanted to say thanks

Hi mate!

Just wanted to thank you. This repo gave me a head start on quickly throwing together a web app for my grandpa who needed some super simple text-to-speech due to inability to speak properly (old age, leukemia and stroke).

I managed to whip this together in a couple of hours thanks to you:

(it's hard-coded to swedish).

So thank you! Looking forward to seeing him start using it tomorrow :)

HELP NEEDED

I'm trying to get the voice to speak onload, but I can only get it working when a button is clicked.
