>No tags exist for this but one thing that might help is aural css. Aural CSS is for styling the speaking, Loud, soft, gender, etc. - not for pronunciation. There is a draft of the Speech Synthesizer Markup language http://www.w3.org/TR/speech-synthesis/#S2.1.4 that covers "say-as" and "phonemes". And, ACSS is not well (if at all) supported, and my point is that it was not designed so that the author/developer could specify how it should pronounce the particular word. Some non-assitive technology voice browsers are supporting SSML, VoiceXML [see note1], etc. The screen reader developers do not seem to be following the voice browser paradigms. note 1 VoiceXML implementation report http://www.w3.org/Voice/2003/ir/voicexml20-ir.html Regards, Phill Jenkins, IBM Research, Accessibility Services http://www.ibm.com/able
