Abstract

CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) is a language that describes the rendering of markup documents (e.g. HTML, XML) on various supports, such as screen, paper, speech, etc. The Speech module defines aural CSS properties that enable authors to declaratively control the rendering of documents via speech synthesis, and using optional audio cues. Note that this standard was developed in cooperation with the Voice Browser Activity.

Status of the Document

This section describes the status of this document at the time of its publication. Other documents may supersede this document. A list of current W3C publications and the latest revision of this technical report can be found in the W3C technical reports index at https://www.w3.org/TR/.

This document was produced by the CSS Working Group as a Candidate Recommendation. This document is intended to become a W3C Recommendation. This document will remain a Candidate Recommendation at least until 8 April 2020 in order to ensure the opportunity for wide review.

GitHub Issues are preferred for discussion of this specification. When filing an issue, please put the text “css-speech” in the title, preferably like this: “[css-speech] …summary of comment…”. All issues and comments are archived, and there is also a historical archive.

Publication as a Candidate Recommendation does not imply endorsement by the W3C Membership. This is a draft document and may be updated, replaced or obsoleted by other documents at any time. It is inappropriate to cite this document as other than work in progress.

This document was produced by a group operating under the W3C Patent Policy. W3C maintains a public list of any patent disclosures made in connection with the deliverables of the group; that page also includes instructions for disclosing a patent. An individual who has actual knowledge of a patent which the individual believes contains Essential Claim(s) must disclose the information in accordance with section 6 of the W3C Patent Policy.

This document is governed by the 1 March 2019 W3C Process Document.

This document is based on the Candidate Recommendation (20 March 2012) and includes changes that reflect the outcome of the disposition of comments.

Before the specification can progress to Proposed Recommendation, the CR exit criteria must be met. The specification will not become Proposed Recommendation before 8 April 2020. A test suite and an implementation report will be made during the Candidate Recommendation period.

The following features are at-risk and may be dropped at the end of the Candidate Recommendation period if there has not been enough interest from implementers: ‘voice-balance’, ‘voice-duration’, ‘voice-pitch’, ‘voice-range’, and ‘voice-stress’.
