It would appear that this is readily available using Speech synthesis markup language and XSLT (or XSLT 2 perhaps)... or someone can make smarter and smarter speech synthessisers. If Audio CSS allowed something equivalent to SSML's say-as propoerty, we would be closer perhaps.

In my brief experience it seems that common dictionary words are read well enough. However it seems that people and place names are not. These are the very words that are of greatest interest. it would also be great to see a decent ua that offered alternative readings (as per spell checker example), a memorise function, and possibly the opportunity to share the choice with a public database. Perhaps somone knows of this? thanks -- Charles McCathieNevile http://www.w3.org/People/Charles phone: +61 409 134 136 W3C Web Accessibility Initiative http://www.w3.org/WAI fax: +33 4 92 38 78 22 Location: 21 Mitchell street FOOTSCRAY Vic 3011, Australia (or W3C INRIA, Route des Lucioles, BP 93, 06902 Sophia Antipolis Cedex, France)
