This document has been reviewed by W3C Members, by softwareĭevelopers, and by other W3C groups and interested parties, and isĮndorsed by the Director as a W3C Recommendation. Changes from SSML 1.0 are motivated by these requirements. Information collected during these workshops was used to develop a requirements document. The third workshop, in Hyderabad, India, in January 2007, focused heavily on Indian and Middle Eastern languages. The first workshop, in Beijing, PRC, in October 2005, focused primarily on Chinese, Korean, and Japanese languages, and the second, in Crete, Greece, in May 2006, focused primarily on Arabic, Indian, and Eastern European languages. To determine in what ways, if any, SSML is limited by its design with respect to supporting languages that are in large commercial or emerging markets for speech synthesis technologies but for which there was limited or no participation by either native speakers or experts during the development of SSML 1.0, the W3C held three workshops on the Internationalization of SSML.

This document enhances SSML 1.0 to provide better support for a broader set of natural (human) languages.

across different synthesis-capable platforms. The essential role of the markup language is to provide authors of synthesizable content a standard way to control aspects of speech such as pronunciation, volume, pitch, rate, etc. The Speech Synthesis Markup Language Specification is one of these standards and is designed to provide a rich, XML-based markup language for assisting the generation of synthetic speech in Web and other applications. The Voice Browser Working Group has sought to develop standards to enable access to the Web using spoken interaction. W3C liability, trademark and document use rules apply.
