• Customize pitch and rate.

Installation

To install the package, use npm or yarn:

or

yarn add reactjs-texttospeech

Usage

Here's a quick example of how to use the useSpeeched hook in your React component:

import React, { useState } from 'react';
import { useSpeeched } from './useSpeeched';

const TextToSpeechComponent = () => {
    const [text, setText] = useState("Hello, this is a test");
    const [rate, setRate] = useState(1);
    const [pitch, setPitch] = useState(1);
    const { handlePlay, handlePause, handleStop, isPaused } = useSpeeched(text, rate, pitch);

    return (
        <div>
            <textarea value={text} onChange={(e) => setText(e.target.value)} />
            <div>
                <label>Rate:
                    <input type="number" value={rate} onChange={(e) => setRate(Number(e.target.value))} min="0.1" max="2" step="0.1" />
                </label>
            </div>
            <div>
                <label>Pitch:
                    <input type="number" value={pitch} onChange={(e) => setPitch(Number(e.target.value))} min="0" max="2" step="0.1" />
                </label>
            </div>
            <button onClick={handlePlay}>Play</button>
            <button onClick={handlePause}>{isPaused ? 'Resume' : 'Pause'}</button>
            <button onClick={handleStop}>Stop</button>
        </div>
    );
