• A W3C-standardized, XML-based markup language for controlling the rendering of text-to-speech output across synthesis-capable platforms. SSML allows authors to specify speech characteristics such as pronunciation, pitch, volume, rate, and emphasis, giving them control over how synthesized speech sounds in web and voice applications. Version 1.1, which was released in 2010, extended the 1.0 standard with improved internationalization support for a broader range of natural languages. ↑ w3.org/TR/speech-synthesis11
