Excellent! Please show me (or even just tell me) how you you would 
detect Safari's implementation of speechSynthesis not .speak()ing or an 
ONEND event listener not firing on a completed SpeechSynthesisUtterance.

Implementation details left as an exercise for the reader?

Just thought you'd trot out some bullshit you read in Javascript Weekly?

To help you out here's my *SSCCE* again as you forgot to quote anything: -

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript">
function fini()
{
     alert("end");
}
function talk()
{
     if (!('speechSynthesis' in window)) {
         alert("Unsupported browser");
         return;
     }

     alert("Getting ready.");
     var utterance = "Hello World";
     var chat = new SpeechSynthesisUtterance(utterance);

     chat.addEventListener('end', fini, false);

     speechSynthesis.speak(chat);

}
</script>
</head>
<body>
