Dear WAI Interest Group, The Pronunciation Task Force and the Accessible Platform Architectures Working Group (APA WG) are seeking input on the following Working Drafts: 1. Explainer: Improving Spoken Presentation on the Web https://www.w3.org/TR/pronunciation-explainer/ - Briefly introduces the context for W3C work on pronunciation - Describes the advantages and disadvantages of two approaches - Poses questions for additional input 2. Pronunciation Gap Analysis and Use Cases https://www.w3.org/TR/pronunciation-gap-analysis-and-use-cases/ - Provides more detailed context - Describes required features for pronunciation and spoken presentation - Describes specific implementation approaches for introducing presentation authoring markup into HTML5 (called “use cases”) - Provides a gap analysis - Describes how the required features may be met by existing approaches Background: These documents will guide work on a normative specification to enable content authors to ensure that text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis properly pronounces HTML content. For context on this work, please see: Pronunciation Overview https://www.w3.org/WAI/pronunciation/ Review: We seek reviews of these Working Drafts from all interested web stakeholders, whether or not you specialize in web accessibility. *We particularly request input on the following*: * Are there additional use cases and requirements not described in these documents? * Are there aspects of these requirements, use cases, and gap analysis that are incorrect or insufficiently defined? * Have we overlooked some aspect in this analysis that should be addressed? Comments: To comment, please open a new issue in the W3C Spec GitHub repository: https://github.com/w3c/pronunciation/issues If this is not feasible, send email to: public-pronunciation@w3.org Please send comments as soon as feasible.
