Abstract

The presentation of audio information, particularly audio information generated by a voice synthesizer from text using a text or screen reader, is controlled using a style sheet. The style sheet permits default presentation styles, such as voice-family, voice-pitch, voice-variant, voice speed and volume to be set, and then varied based on embedded text presentation commands such as those found in hypertext markup language and in desktop publishing.
