The error event of the Web Speech API SpeechSynthesisUtterance object is fired when an error occurs that prevents the utterance from being successfully spoken.

Examples

You can use the error event in an addEventListener method:

utterThis.addEventListener('error', function(event) {
  console.log('An error has occurred with the speech synthesis: ' + event.error');
});

Or use the onerror event handler property:

utterThis.onerror = function(event) {
