Name
speak — NN n/a IE n/a CSS 2
Synopsis
Inherited: Yes
For aural style sheets, specifies whether a browser equipped for text-to-speech should speak the element’s content. If so, whether the speech should be as words or spelled out character-by-character.
CSS Syntax
speak: speechTypeValue
Three possible constant values: none |
normal | spell-out. A value of
none means that speech is turned off. The browser
does not delay over the duration of the speech and any specified
pauses (see the volume:silent attribute value). A
value of normal turns on speech and reads the text
as words. A value of spell-out turns on speech and
reads the content letter-by-letter (certainly applicable to
ABBR and ACRONYM elements).
Initial Value
