Display what AVSpeechSynthesizer is showing as subtitles with Swift

Question

I have an array with quotations, and am using a button to start a random quotation playing from the array.

I'm wondering, how would I have the selected random quotation also displayed in the ViewController so that people can read what the speechsynthesizer is reading?

Answer 1

How would I have the selected random quotation also displayed in the ViewController so that people can read what the speechsynthesizer is reading?

The best way to highlight the vocalized word is using the speechSynthesizer:willSpeakRangeOfSpeechString:utterance: method of the AVSpeechSynthesizerDelegate protocol.

Instead of copying and pasting the code snippet here, take a look at this complete and useful example (ObjC and Swift) that displays the vocalized word in a bold font with the speech synthesis.

...is there some way of using Subtitles.sizeToFit() so that the Label is split into 3 or more rows, instead of just "one row till infinity"?

In the Xcode Interface Builder - Attributes Inspector, set the value of the label property Lines to 0 and adapt your constraints to get a multiline presentation.
