JavaScript speechSynthesis.speak() without user activation is no longer allowed since M71

I used speechSynthesis API in this way:

Answer 1

If you set your site address as "trusted" in chrome://settings/content/sound it seems to enable sound and speech synthesis even without user interactions.

I use Chrome in a TV just as a system monitor, using kiosk mode and without any user interactions. It doesn't even have keyboard and mouse. Still, I was able to enable in some versions of Chrome/Chromium, but not in others.
