## Install

```
## Usage
### Linking the Library
In order to use Speech, you must first link the library your project. There's excellent documentation on how to do this in the [React Native Docs](https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/linking-libraries.html#content).
### Speaking an Utterance
Once you've linked the library, you'll want to make it available to your app by requiring it:
```js
var Speech = require('react-native-speech');
```
Speaking an utterance is as simple as calling:
```js
Speech.speak({
text: 'React Native Speech is awesome! I\'m going to use it in my next project.',
voice: 'en-US'
});
```
## Example
Using Speech in your app will usually look like this:
```js
var Speech = require('react-native-speech');
var YourComponent = React.createClass({
_startHandler() {
Speech.speak({
text: 'Aujourd\'hui, Maman est morte. Ou peut-être hier, je ne sais pas.',
voice: 'fr-FR'
})
.then(started => {
console.log('Speech started');
})
.catch(error => {
console.log('You\'ve already started a speech instance.');
});
},
_pauseHandler() {
Speech.pause();
},
_resumeHandler() {
Speech.resume();
},
_stopHandler() {
Speech.stop();
},
render() {
return (
...
Speak
Pause
Resume
Stop
);
}
});
```
## Methods
### speak(utterance)
Initializes the speech instance and speaks the utterance provided.
__Arguments__
- `utterance` - An `Object` containing the following keys: `text`, `voice` and, optionally, `rate`. `rate` is a float where lower numbers indicate slower speech.
__Examples__
```js
Speech.speak({
text: 'I was runnin\' through the 6 with my woes',
voice: 'en-US',
rate: 0.4
})
.then(started => {
// Success code
})
.catch(error => {
// Failure code
});
```
```js
Speech.speak({
text: 'I was runnin\' through the 6 with my woes',
voice: 'en-US'
});
```
### pause()
Pauses the speech instance.
__Example__
```js
Speech.pause();
```
### resume()
Resumes the speech instance.
__Example__
```js
Speech.resume();
```
### stop()
Stops and destroys the speech instance.
__Example__
```js
Speech.stop();
```
### isSpeaking()
Indicates whether speech is in progress.
__Example__
```js
Speech.isSpeaking()
.then(speaking => {
console.log(speaking); // true or false
});
```
### isPaused()
Indicates whether speech is paused.
__Example__
```js
Speech.isPaused()
.then(paused => {
console.log(paused); // true or false
});
```
### supportedVoices()
Indicates which speech voices are available.
__Example__
```js
Speech.supportedVoices()
.then(locales => {
console.log(locales); // ["ar-SA", "en-ZA", "nl-BE", "en-AU", "th-TH", ...]
});
```
