SpeechSynthesisVoice: voiceURI property

Baseline Widely available

This feature is well established and works across many devices and browser versions. It’s been available across browsers since September 2018.

The voiceURI read-only property of the SpeechSynthesisVoice interface returns the type of URI and location of the speech synthesis service for this voice.

Value

A string representing the URI of the voice. This is a generic URI and can point to local or remote services, e.g., it could be a proprietary system URN or a URL to a remote service.

Examples

js
for (const voice of voices) {
  const option = document.createElement("option");
  option.textContent = `${voice.name} (${voice.lang})`;

  if (voice.default) {
    option.textContent += " — DEFAULT";
  }

  console.log(voice.voiceURI);
  // On Mac, this returns URNs, for example 'urn:moz-tts:osx:com.apple.speech.synthesis.voice.daniel'

  option.setAttribute("data-lang", voice.lang);
  option.setAttribute("data-name", voice.name);
  voiceSelect.appendChild(option);
}
