# reset

Set a synthesizer back to its default state.

```
static let reset: NSSpeechSynthesizer.SpeechPropertyKey
```

## Discussion

There is no value associated with this property; to reset the channel to its default state, set the key to `nil`. You can use this function to, for example, set speech pitch and speech rate to default values.

This property works with [`setObject(_:forProperty:)`](/documentation/AppKit/NSSpeechSynthesizer/setObject(_:forProperty:)).
