Outcome: Changes to Natural Language

Assistive technologies using text to speech can pronounce blocks of text in their natural language.

Good articulation aids with comprehension, and is essential for text-to-speech assistive technology to be as useful as possible. Speech synthesis using pronunciation rules for the wrong language (even one using a similar alphabet) cannot easily be understood.

This outcome relates to guideline Pronunciation of Text.
