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

Question

I used speechSynthesis API in this way:

speechSynthesis.speak(new SpeechSynthesisUtterance(\"hello world\"));

But right now I get error aft

Answer 1

A simple hack, without needing a real user activity, is to execute a click event on a hidden button like so.

document.querySelector('button').click();
var msg = new SpeechSynthesisUtterance('Test');
