html_safe is not working in ruby on rails

I am using ckeditor to save posts content. If I save anything in my db then it saves content with html tags. To escape html i am using <%= raw(posts.content) %> function. I am using Speak.js for adding functionality to listen posts content also. Here i am doing like this ...

<script src="speakClient.js"></script>
<img src="img/listenpost.png" alt="Listen Post" onclick="speak('<%= posts_item.content.html_safe %>')" style="cursor:pointer;" />

but here it speaks content with html tags. I tried to do like this also 

 speak('<%== posts_item.content %>') or  speak('<%= raw posts_item.content %>')

But nothing works for me. How can I escape html tags so that my posts audible without HTML tags

You should escape also inside javascript. Using escape_javascript helper

speak('<%=j posts_item.content.html_safe %>')

You state that you have tried speak('<%= raw posts_item.content %>'). The correct use of the raw helper method in this case would be <%= raw(posts_item.content) %> (note that posts_item.content is inside parentheses
