Set Default Voice

To set the default voice of the Speechify API, you'll need to specify where it is placed on your site. To do so, add the configuration property defaultVoice and set it to the name of the voice you'd like to make default.

Example​

Here's an example in which the default voice is Matthew.

import(
  "{CDNLinkToLibrary}"
).then(async (speechifyWidget) => {
  // widget configuration
  const config = {
    rootElement: document.getElementById("article"),
    useSpeechifyRoot: true,
    // default voice
    defaultVoice: "Matthew",
  };
  // initialize the widget with config and mount it on the page
  const widget = speechifyWidget.makeSpeechifyExperience(config);
  await widget.mount();
});
