Subject: [RS] Reading Systems special call to focus on Read Aloud-all developers welcome 
 
Dear Reading Systems Testing Working Group and the wider EPUB Reading Systems ecosystem,
 
On May 14, 2024, at 15 UTC, the DAISY Reading System testing group which maintains epubtest.org will have a guest speaker to explore Read Aloud. Zoom information below the agenda.
 
We hear that the Read Aloud function in EPUB Reading Systems is one of the most used features enjoyed by end users. There is a great deal of variety in the implementations, and we all want the best possible experience. This session will give developers implementing Read Aloud to learn and share experiences.
 
Hadrien Gardeur will explain what he has been developing as open source:
Voice Selection:
* https://github.com/HadrienGardeur/web-speech-recommended-voices
Best Practices:
https://github.com/HadrienGardeur/read-aloud-best-practices
 
and two projects to track the development.
For the work to be done:

And for tracking external issues:

Feel free to share this with others!
