Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1279842

(Core :: Web Speech, defect)

Description

[Jonas Jongejan]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10_11_6) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/53.0.2785.143 Safari/537.36

Steps to reproduce:

Only on Windows:
Calling SpeechSynthesisUtterance to read aloud a word with single quote (') in it

Code:
var textSingleQuote = "Single quote: You're"
var textApostrophe = "Apostrophe: You’re"
window.speechSynthesis.speak(new SpeechSynthesisUtterance(textSingleQuote))
window.speechSynthesis.speak(new SpeechSynthesisUtterance(textApostrophe))

Codepen: https://codepen.io/halfdanj/pen/KgAXXr


Actual results:

It reads aloud "and 39". Replacing the character with apostrophe works, but its the only browser i've experienced it in. 



Expected results:

Should correctly read the word aloud
