It depends on what "rnd:pronounce" is for: a phonetic alphabet would be better for speech synthesis, but maybe not for humans. How many people, except linguists, can read IPA? Speech Synthesis Markup Language has a say-as element (http://www.w3.org/TR/speech-synthesis/#edef_say-as) and a phoneme element which should support alphabet="ipa" (http://www.w3.org/TR/speech-synthesis/#S3.1.9). The spec says: "It is an error if a value for alphabet is specified that is not known or cannot be applied by a synthesis processor." The rnd:pronounce example is one where the 'alphabet' is not specified, so I can't choose between the "synthesis processors" in my head ;-) Regards, Christophe Strobbe -- Christophe Strobbe K.U.Leuven - Departement of Electrical Engineering - Research Group on Document Architectures Kasteelpark Arenberg 10 - 3001 Leuven-Heverlee - BELGIUM tel: +32 16 32 85 51 http://www.docarch.be/ Disclaimer: http://www.kuleuven.be/cwis/email_disclaimer.htmReceived on Tuesday, 21 February 2006 14:55:41 GMT
