I'm trying to give a little more clarity to TTS sentences by indicating emphasis, etc. I'm using the Chrome TTS API, which indicates that it accepts SSML-formatted documents in addition to raw text.

After many attempts, and a reading a few comments on the web, it doesn't look like this is actually supported, or possibly that this is up to individual voices for implementation.

Does anyone know:

  • Has SSML been abandoned under Chrome?
  • If not, is there any indication whether they expect to support it via native voice, or they're hoping that someone else will implement?
  • Do any Chrome voices currently exist that support this?

Thanks!
