Attached is an Implementation Report for the SSML 1.0 specification submitted by Voxpilot Ltd.

Voxpilot is delighted that the W3C Voice Browser Working Group has published the Speech Synthesis Markup Language (SSML) 1.0 as a W3C Candidate Recommendation. SSML plays an integral part in the W3C Speech Interface Framework, enabling developers to create compelling voice applications by facilitating rich control of audio rendering via an open standards, markup-based approach. Voxpilot is pleased to have contributed to the W3C Voice Browser Working Group's effort to develop the SSML 1.0 specification.
