    SpeechSynthesisUtterance.onresume

    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 onresume property of the SpeechSynthesisUtterance interface represents an event handler that will run when a paused utterance is resumed (when the resume event fires.)

    This occurs when the SpeechSynthesis.resume() method is invoked on a paused speech synthesis instance.

    Syntax

    speechSynthesisUtteranceInstance.onresume = function() { ... };

    Examples

    var synth = window.speechSynthesis;

var inputForm = document.querySelector('form');
var inputTxt = document.querySelector('input');
var voiceSelect = document.querySelector('select');

var voices = synth.getVoices();

  ...

inputForm.onsubmit = function(event) {
  event.preventDefault();

  var utterThis = new SpeechSynthesisUtterance(inputTxt.value);
  var selectedOption = voiceSelect.selectedOptions[0].getAttribute('data-name');
  for(i = 0; i < voices.length ; i++) {
    if(voices[i].name === selectedOption) {
      utterThis.voice = voices[i];
    }
  }

  synth.speak(utterThis);

  utterThis.onresume = function(event) {
    console.log('Speech resumed after ' + event.elapsedTime + ' milliseconds.');
  }

  inputTxt.blur();
}
