This is an experimental technology
Because this technology's specification has not stabilized, check the compatibility table for the proper prefixes to use in various browsers. Also note that the syntax and behavior of an experimental technology is subject to change in future versions of browsers as the spec changes.
The name read-only property of the SpeechSynthesisUtterance interface returns the name associated with certain types of events occuring as the SpeechSynthesisUtterance.text is being spoken: the name of the SSML marker reached in the case of a mark event, or the type of boundary reached in the case of a boundary event.
Syntax
event.name;
Value
A DOMString.
Examples
utterThis.onboundary = function(event) {
console.log(event.name + ' boundary reached after ' + event.elapsedTime + ' milliseconds.');
}
