README.md

This plugin for reveal.js allows the presenter to control slides with his or her voice. Check out the demo.

How To Use

Copy speech.js from this repository into /plugin/speech and add it as a Reveal.js dependency:

Reveal.initialize({
  dependencies: [{src: "plugin/speech/speech.js" }]
});

Built-In phrases

There are a few default phrases you can say to control slide navigation:

• "Goto Next" - Next slide
• "Goto Previous" - Previous slide
• "Goto Last" - Moves to the last slide of the presentation
• "Goto First" - First slide of the presentation

These can also be modified.

Custom Speech Phrases

You can write define custom phrases to say to move to the next slide by applying a data-speech-next attribute to a <section> slide. Saying that attributes value will move to the next slide:

<section data-speech-next="movingalong">
</section>

You can also reveal fragments by attaching a data-speech attribute to the fragment element. Saying that attribute value will unhide the fragment if it is the next fragment to be shown.

<section>
  <h2>List of Delicious Things:</h2>
  <ol>
    <li class="fragment" data-speech="spaghetti">Spaghetti</li>
    <li class="fragment" data-speech="chicken">Chicken</li>
    <li class="fragment" data-speech="beer">Beer</li>
  </ol>
</section>

Configuration

You can customize certain configuration variables of the the RevealSpeech object using the configuration() method after loading the plugin:

Reveal.initialize({
  dependencies: [{
    src: "plugin/speech/speech.js",
    callback: function() {
      RevealSpeech.configure({
        nextKeyword: 'nextslide',     // default gotonext
        prevKeyword: 'previousslide', // default gotoprevious
        lastKeyword: 'lastslide',     // default gotolast
        firstKeyword: 'firstslide',   // default gotofirst
        debug: true,                  // default false
        lang: 'de-DE'                 // default ''
      });
    }
  }]
});
