eSpeak implements SSML parsing. SpeechSynthesisUtterance, at least as implemented at *nix, does not parse SSML input at Chromium or Firefox browsers.

How to identify and extract the relevant portions of eSpeak for the purpose of including the code at Web Speech API implementations at modern browsers to be able to parse SSML input without an extension or third party web service?

If there are any issues with the question, do advise how to improve the inquiry instead of casting downvote of question without providing reasons therefore.

  • Seems you need an SSML parser in Javascript. How about this one? npmjs.com/package/ssml

  • @RobertHarvey The issue is not how to produce valid SSML, but how to implement parsing of SSML by SpeechSynthesisUtterance. We could use meSpeak -m option, though an error occurred when trying and the gist of the inquiry is to get this implemented at browsers source code.

  • Seems that most Google Searches for SSML Parser actually turn up SSML generators. Wonder why that is.

  • SSML is just a flavor of XML. Couldn't you use an ordinary XML parser?

For posterity, the following are several links to SSML parser's composed in different coding languages

The solution is to do the knowledge for self. Use the language that you are currently most familiar with to parse the SSML according to the specification, one element at a time.
