BlogSpeak

Created by Arshad

BlogSpeak is a lightweight JavaScript module that enables websites to offer a text-to-speech feature, allowing visitors to listen to blog posts instead of reading them. It utilizes the SpeechSynthesisUtterance API to convert text content into speech, providing an audio version of the blog post for users who prefer or require auditory information.

Features

• Easy integration into websites
• Customizable speech parameters (voice, rate, pitch, volume)
• Responsive design for cross-device compatibility
• Playback controls for user interaction
• Accessibility enhancements for improved usability
• Language support for multiple languages and accents
• Offline availability with caching mechanisms

Installation

You can install BlogSpeak via npm:

npm install blogspeak

Alternatively, you can download the BlogSpeak.js file from the repository and include it directly in your project.
