Examples

js

for (let i = 0; i < voices.length; i++) {
  const 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'
