§ The speak Command

§ Syntax

speak <expression> [with voice <expression>] [with rate <expression>] [with pitch <expression>] [with volume <expression>]

§ Description

The speak command uses the Web Speech API to speak text aloud — a nod to HyperTalk.

The command is async-transparent: it waits for the utterance to finish before continuing to the next command. You can configure voice, rate, pitch, and volume using with clauses.

§ Examples

<button _="on click speak 'Hello world'">Speak</button>

<button _="on click speak 'Fast and high' with rate 2 with pitch 1.5">Fast</button>
