Description

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Quit any open instances of Chrome
  2. Launch Chrome
  3. Go to the Orator Demo ( https://build.fluidproject.org/infusion/demos/orator/ )
  4. Click the "Play" button to read back text
  5. Click the "Pause" button to stop the reading

Notice that the playback doesn't pause. If the page is reloaded, or if a text selection is played, the pause will now function properly. Also this only happens after a Chrome is launched. If it is already open before trying the above it is likely to function properly.

This is a Chrome bug and has been filed at https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=873812&can=2&start=0&num=100&q=speechsynthesis pause&colspec=ID Pri M Stars ReleaseBlock Component Status Owner Summary OS Modified&groupby=&sort=

    I encountered this while using the Orator on stories.sojustrepairit.org on Edge (version 88.0.705.68 running on macOS 11.2.1).

    Could not reproduce with Chrome 126 on macOS 14.5
