You can use the SpeechSynthesisUtterance with a function like say:

function say(m) {
  var msg = new SpeechSynthesisUtterance();
  var voices = window.speechSynthesis.getVoices();
  msg.voice = voices[10];
  msg.voiceURI = "native";
  msg.volume = 1;
  msg.rate = 1;
  msg.pitch = 0.8;
  msg.text = m;
  msg.lang = 'en-US';
  speechSynthesis.speak(msg);
}

Then you only need to call say(msg) when using it.

Update: Look at Google's Developer Blog that is about Voice Driven Web Apps Introduction to the Web Speech API.
