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 voiceURI
read-only property of the SpeechSynthesisVoice
interface returns the type of URI and location of the speech synthesis service for this voice.
Syntax
var myVoiceURI = speechSynthesisVoiceInstance.voiceURI;
Value
A DOMString
representing the URI of the voice. This is a generic URI and can point to local or remote services, e.g. it could be a proprietary system URN or a a URL to a remote service.
Examples
for(i = 0; i < voices.length ; i++) { var option = document.createElement('option'); option.textContent = voices[i].name + ' (' + voices[i].lang + ')'; if(voices[i].default) { option.textContent += ' -- DEFAULT'; } console.log(voices[i].voiceURI); // On Mac, this returns URNs, for example 'urn:moz-tts:osx:com.apple.speech.synthesis.voice.daniel' option.setAttribute('data-lang', voices[i].lang); option.setAttribute('data-name', voices[i].name); voiceSelect.appendChild(option); }'
