pauseSpeaking(at:)

Pauses speech at the boundary you specify.

Declaration

func pauseSpeaking(at boundary: AVSpeechBoundary) -> Bool

Parameters

  • boundary:

    An enumeration that describes whether to pause speech immediately or only after the synthesizer finishes speaking the current word.

Return Value

true if speech pauses; otherwise, false.

Discussion

The boundary parameter also affects how the speech synthesizer resumes speaking text after a pause and call to continueSpeaking(). If the boundary is AVSpeechBoundary.immediate, speech resumes from the exact point where it pauses, even if that point occurs in the middle of speaking a word. If the boundary is AVSpeechBoundary.word, speech resumes from the word that follows the last spoken word where it pauses.
