Reading Systems Call on Read Aloud

On May 14, 2024, at 15 UTC, the DAISY Reading System testing group which maintains epubtest.org will have a guest speaker to explore Read Aloud.

We hear that the Read Aloud function in EPUB Reading Systems is one of the most used features enjoyed by end users. There is a great deal of variety in the implementations, and we all want the best possible experience. This session will give developers implementing Read Aloud to learn and share experiences.

Hadrien Gardeur will explain what he has been developing as open source:

• Voice Selection:https://github.com/HadrienGardeur/web-speech-recommended-voices
• Best Practices: https://github.com/HadrienGardeur/read-aloud-best-practices
