readium/speech
💬 A TypeScript library for implementing read aloud on the Web
This project helps integrate a high-quality "read aloud" feature into web-based applications, like ebook readers or news sites. It takes digital text content and turns it into spoken audio, complete with highlighting and voice selection. It's designed for web application developers who want to add an accessible and professional text-to-speech experience for their users.
Available on npm.
Use this if you are a web developer building a reading application (like an ebook reader, news app, or educational platform) and need to incorporate a robust, best-practices-driven text-to-speech function for your users.
Not ideal if you are looking for a standalone text-to-speech application for personal use, or if you need to integrate text-to-speech into a non-web environment.
