A tiny javascript Text-To-Speech library based on the browsers Native API
Audi has no dependencies, it weighs 5kb, and its free to use and modify under the MIT license.
Audi can be downloaded from the AudiJs github repo (https://github.com/gbenga504/AudiJs). It can also be installed using bower
bower install Audi --save
The cannot read property lang of undefined returned by chrome, was solved... Thanks to kayslay issue #1

//load the audi library here from your local file folder
<script type='text/javascript' src='audi.js'></script>
//init Audi with the local attribute to use the browsers native speech API
var audiSpeaker = new Audi("local");
//using Audi methods without callbacks
audiSpeaker.read("I love the day called Christmas");
audiSpeaker.dictate(["coding", "is", "life"]);
//with a call back
audiSpeaker.read("Futarians are here to stay", function(){
console.log('done');
})This can be done in two ways, i.e using either the local service which uses the browsers native speech API or using the online service which uses the google Text-To-Speech API... However, if no parameter is selected then it defaults to online service
//using local service
var myAudi = new Audi("local");
//using online service
var myAudi = new Audi("online");
Language is automatically selected for teh user if one uses the local service.... This is because it is difficult to predict if the user speaks english or any other particular language.. Audi therefore selects default language for the user using the users computer
//gets the list of languages available to the user
myAudi.getLangList
//gets the current language (getter Method)
myAudi.lang
//sets the current language (arg accepts only strings)
myAudi.lang = 'en' myAudi.read(string, optionalCallback) //reads words and calls callback if any is provided
myAudi.dictate(Array, optionalCallback) //dictates an array of words and calls callback if provided
myAudi.toArray(string, splitter(optional)) //splits a string based on the splitter provided and if the splitter results to undefined or is not provided , it splits the string based on an empty string ' '
//SETTERS AND GETTERS
//GETTERS RETURN THE CURRENT STATE OF THE AUDI PROPERTY
myAudi.rate //returns 1 by default
myAudi.volume
myAudi.pitch
myAudi.lang //returns teh current running language
//SETTERS CAN ONLY ACCEPT FLOAT TYPES from 0.0 - 1.0
myAudi.rate = 0.5; //sets the rate to 0.5
myAudi.pitch = 0.2
myAudi.volume = 0.5
//GETS THE CURRENT LANGUAGE LIST CURRENTLY AVAILBALE TO THE USER
console.log(myAudi.getLangList);***Check out some demo on youtube @ https://youtu.be/zhuK1OoN1nE
Audi is still in its first phase and we believe there is a lot of work to be done on the library.. So start pulling , coding and making pull requests
