In this episode of Two Voice Devs, hosts Allen Firstenberg and Mark Tucker discuss the CSS Speech Module Level 1 Candidate Recommendation Draft, a standard that enables webpages to talk, developed in collaboration with the voice browser activity. They explore its features including the 'aural' box model concept, voice families, earcons and more, drawing parallels with SSML and highlight its innovative approach to web accessibility complementing screen readers. Despite acknowledging its potential, they address some of its key omissions such as phonemes and the lack of a background audio feature.
