Text-to-Speech Converter Tool:
Below is a fully documented and responsive tool to design text-to-speech (TTS) converter tool using HTML, CSS & JavaScript. This example does not use any third-party libraries because it relies on the well-equipped Web Speech API included in modern browsers.
Features of the Text-to-Speech Converter tool:
- Text Input Area: The specific input box allows the users to provide the text they wish to convert into speech.
- Speak Button: When this button is clicked the tool translates the text written into a speech with using voice.
- Responsive Design: This suggest that it can be used on all inbound devices, making the tool functional and available across screen sizes.
- Styling: The tool mostly has a sleek appearance as the choice of colours and arrangement of these on the user interface translates to an enhanced experience.
How it Works:
- When the page loads the script will load the different voices for the user using the Web Speech API on the Voices select tag.
- When one types the text below and clicks the ‘Speak’ button, the speak function is initiated, which forms a SpeechSynthesisUtterance object with the typed text.
- On the given utterance, we apply the selected voice, and the SpeechSynthesis. speak method then is called to translate the text into spoken words.
- If text input is empty at the time of the click of the button, an alert message appears to inform the user that the text field is not empty.
This code utilizes the speech synthesis capability of the browser with effective and efficient code without the use of additional libraries. For this tool and genuinely all the tools in this article, your browser must support the Web Speech API.
