SpeechSynthesisUtterance: resume event
Baseline
Widely available
This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since September 2018.
The resume event of the Web Speech API SpeechSynthesisUtterance object is fired when a paused utterance is resumed.
Syntax
Use the event name in addEventListener():
js
addEventListener("resume", (event) => { })
Alternatively, assign to the event handler property of the interface:
js
onresume = (event) => { }
Event type
A SpeechSynthesisEvent. Inherits from Event.
Examples
You can use the resume event in an addEventListener method:
js
utterThis.addEventListener("resume", (event) => {
console.log(`Speech resumed after ${event.elapsedTime} seconds.`);
});
Or use the onresume event handler property (but note that this replaces other event listeners added using onresume, if any):
js
utterThis.onresume = (event) => {
console.log(`Speech resumed after ${event.elapsedTime} seconds.`);
};
