The `speechSynthesis` read-only property of the Window object returns a {{domxref("SpeechSynthesis")}} object, which is the entry point into using [Web Speech API](/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Speech_API) speech synthesis functionality.

## Syntax

```js
var synth = window.speechSynthesis;
```

### Value
## Value

A {{domxref("SpeechSynthesis")}} object.

## Examples

In our basic [Speech synthesiser demo](https://github.com/mdn/web-speech-api/tree/master/speak-easy-synthesis), we first grab a reference to the SpeechSynthesis controller using `window.speechSynthesis`. After defining some necessary variables, we retrieve a list of the voices available using {{domxref("SpeechSynthesis.getVoices()")}} and populate a select menu with them so the user can choose what voice they want.

Inside the `inputForm.onsubmit` handler, we stop the form submitting with [preventDefault()](/en-US/docs/Web/API/Event/preventDefault),  create a new {{domxref("SpeechSynthesisUtterance")}} instance containing the text from the text {{htmlelement("input")}}, set the utterance's voice to the voice selected in the {{htmlelement("select")}} element, and start the utterance speaking via the {{domxref("SpeechSynthesis.speak()")}} method.
