Speech

Converts the selected text into speech. The plugin uses guessLanguage to recognize the language and the SpeechSynthesis interface of the Web Speech API.

Plugin type: visual, non-system.

Supported editors: documents.

Available by default in ONLYOFFICE Enterprise Edition and Community Edition (Docs + Workspace), and ONLYOFFICE cloud.

You can also download this plugin from the ONLYOFFICE App Directory.

1. Select the necessary text.
2. Open the plugin settings to select the language for the voiceover (the default setting is auto-recognition mode).
3. Open the Plugins tab and press Speech.
4. The text will be read out loud.

1. Some browsers, e.g. Mozzila, Opera, can only use pre-installed languages on your system for speech generation. So to use new languages, you need to add them to your system.
2. The plugin doesn't work on Safari 15.3 (17612.4.9.1.8). Problem fixed on Safari 15.4 (17614.1.7.7).
