Firefox and Speech Synthesis API

firefox, html, text-to-speech

Solution

Check if Speech Synthesis API is supported your browser http://caniuse.com/#feat=speech-synthesis

You can check it with modernizr http://v3.modernizr.com/download/#-speechsynthesis

If browser not support it, you can use meSpek.js http://www.masswerk.at/mespeak/
