Can I use NSSpeechSynthesizer from JavaScript?

Question

Hi,

I have a short and simple question: Can I use NSSpeechSynthesizer or Mac OS's Text-to-Speech engine from JavaScript (if I'm on a Mac using Safari)? And if so: how?

Thanks!

Answer 1

there isn't a way without plugins

A java applet may be able to, but it would likely have to ask the user for permission first.
