Thanks, Jason. I think "Spoken Presentation" might work. I'm cc'ing this response on APA list to engage the wider group. Please see also our discussion in today's APA call at: https://www.w3.org/2018/09/12-apa-minutes.html#item02 I'd like to try and get this Task Force firmed up by next week.

This task begins with reviewing existing techniques and considering ways to improve them by doing research and gap analysis. The Task Force is intended to bring together participants who combine knowledge of the technologies developed by the W3C, accessibility and assistive technologies in order to discover a workable solution to address the challenges of providing accurate, consistent pronunciation and presentation of content. In addition to analyzing use cases and user requirements for accurate pronunciation and hinting in text to speech applications, the Task Force will: > Suggest: to develop specifications and best practices guidance > > That's it, imo. > > Best, > > Janina > > > > > * Evaluate and develop a solution in the context of existing W3C technologies; > > * Identify related work inside and outside of W3C; > > * Propose and develop a consistent mechanism to incorporate SSML into HTML using, for example, WAI-ARIA attributes, new attribute(s) for HTML, or an HTML element; > > * Review issues raised against any related specification and propose solutions to issues which have an impact on the chosen approach; > > * Respond to requests and provide expert feedback on accessibility and technical challenges; > > * Build a use case repository to describe different scenarios involving pronunciation issues occurring in various languages; > > * Engage stakeholders including assistive technology and browser vendors, from whom the task force can solicit ongoing feedback; > > * The task force may form sub-teams to carry out work of the task force. > > > > Deliverables > > > > The SSML Pronunciation Task Force plans to produce the following deliverables: > > > > * Gap analysis; > > * Use cases and requirements document; > > * A document proposing a technical approach for providing the solution to address the need for accurate pronunciation and presentation of spoken content in various languages > > > > > > Regards, > > Irfan > > > > From: Michael Cooper <cooper@w3.org> > > Date: Wednesday, August 22, 2018 at 12:19 PM > > To: "Ali, Irfan" <iali@ets.org>, Janina Sajka <janina@rednote.net> > > Subject: Re: Starting Pronunciation Work in APA > > > > > > We set 9:00 am Friday for a chat.
