Either speak text using WebTTS or update ARIA label for speaking with screen readers meant for audio games in the browser

AGK-TTS

Quick and dirty wrapper around WebTTS, as well as allowing screen readers to talk through ARIA

In audio games, the quickest way to present information is through speech. Usually, people playing audio games have a screen reader running which automatically detects changes to the ARIa element. If this is not the case, you can use WebTTS which uses whatever text to speech voice your browser has access to.

Installation

Using NPM: npm install agk-tts

Usage

import TTS from "agk-tts";

// Argument in constructor when true tells the library to use WebTTS, when false uses ARIA.

const speech = new TTS(true);

// Speak "Meow! I'm a cat!" speech.speak("Meow! I'm a cat!"); // decide not to use WebTTS anymore speech.setWebTTS(false);

// Speak "Not anymore!" speech.speak("Not anymore!");
