# speechSynthesizer(_:didContinue:)

Tells the delegate when the synthesizer resumes speaking an utterance after pausing.

## Declaration

```swift
optional func speechSynthesizer(_ synthesizer: AVSpeechSynthesizer, didContinue utterance: AVSpeechUtterance)
```

## Parameters

- `synthesizer`: The speech synthesizer that resumes speaking the utterance.
- `utterance`: The utterance that the speech synthesizer resumes speaking.

## Discussion

Discussion The system only calls this method if a speech synthesizer pauses speaking and the system calls its pauseSpeaking(at:) method. The system doesn’t call this method if the synthesizer pauses while in a delay between utterances.
