Description
Implement
SpeechSynthesizing.forceSpeak(instruction:during:locale:)
for breaking through mute of the speech synthesizer.I am using the
SystemSpeechSyntesizer
for providing additional spoken instructions in my app, but want some important instructions to break through the mute toggle that is in the UI. TheforceSpeak(..)
function will bypass the mute check and proceed to speak the instruction regardless.Implementation
I've made the forceSpeak(..) function optional to implement in the
SpeechSynthesizing
protocol since I do not have a proper implementation forMapboxSpeechSynthesizer
. That instead uses volume of anAVAudioPlayer
to mute instructions.So when
forceSpeak(..)
isn't implemented, it forwards the call to the regularspeak(..)
function while usingUnimplementedLogging.logUnimplemented(..)
to log a warning in console.Screenshots or Gifs
