JavaScript SpeechSynthesis API

The SpeechSynthesis API enables browsers to convert text to speech programmatically using window.speechSynthesis and SpeechSynthesisUtterance. This browser API can enhance accessibility for unsighted users by making the browser audibly speak any text string. While not a replacement for native accessibility tools, it offers a way to supplement existing features with text-to-speech functionality across all modern browsers.
