Markup for TTS?
Does any sort of standardized HTML mark-up exist that can supply pronunciation hints to a speech-synthesis (TTS) engine? This is mainly useful for foreign or science-fiction-y names, or for things like stuttering in dialog.
(Using FBReader on Android with the Hyperionics TTS plugin and the Ivona engine, the text “but sh-she said…” is synthesized as “but ess aich she said.”)
Or even in plain English: I’d like to coax a piece of coax cable through a small hole.
Do any of the TTS-capable EPUB readers implement a non-standard method for achieving this?
