SpeechSynthesis: paused property
The paused read-only property of the
SpeechSynthesis interface is a boolean value that returns
true if the SpeechSynthesis object is in a paused state, or false if not.
It can be set to paused even if nothing is
currently being spoken through it. If
utterances are then added to the utterance
queue, they will not be spoken until the SpeechSynthesis object is
unpaused, using resume().
Value
A boolean value.
Examples
const synth = window.speechSynthesis;
synth.pause();
const amIPaused = synth.paused; // will return true
