Hi All, I am studying the options for preparing ebooks for text-to-speech. Does anybody have experience with that and willing to share experience. I am looking at things like SSML, aural-CSS, and text-to-speech software. Any software that can support this? My intention is to add the relevant tags to my TEI master, and generate SSML from that, feed that to TTS software to obtain audio files (Ideally, I would only post the SSML, and let people regenerate the speech when needed). Any tools that can be advised? Things to consider are additional tags to disambiguate words with identical spelling (read and read; record and record, for example), and to help pronouncing dates, currency amounts, measures, abbreviations, etc. Issues I found is lack of support for things like aural CSS, expensive software, etc. Jeroen.
