== 2.Text To Speech API == | |||
The text to speech API will be based on google's proposal([http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xg-htmlspeech/2011Feb/att-0022/htmltts-draft.html]).This API can be used for speech translation, turn by turn navigation, dialog systems etc. | |||
==== API Design - ==== | |||
*The API will introduce a new element <tts> that extends HTMLMediaElement. It will be similar to how the <audio> and and <video> tags are implemented.<br> | |||
*A playback UI should allow the user to start, stop and disable text to speech. The current spoken word can be highlighted.<br> | |||
*The developer should be able to specify the language, position, start/stop playback and handle errors programmatically. <br> | |||
*The API should itself be independent of the underlying speech synthesizer. If speech synthesis is not supported, appropriate text should be displayed. <br> | |||
*What speech engines is yet to be decided. | |||
