Una nueva recomendación para especificar la lectura de las páginas web

Hace unos pocos días, el W3C publicó el primer borrador de Specification for Spoken Presentation in HTML. Según dice la nota de prensa:

This document is part of W3C work to provide normative specifications and best practice guidance so that text-to-speech (TTS) synthesis can properly pronounce HTML content. TTS has long been used by screen readers and other assistive technologies for people with disabilities. TTS is now also widely used in popular applications such as voice assistants. Yet today there is no way for content creators to markup HTML content so it is correctly and consistently spoken by all commonly used TTS engines and operating environments. This specification is intended to fill this critical gap.
