W3C holds the Workshop on Internationalizing the Speech Synthesis Markup Language (SSML) on 2-3 November in Beijing, China.

Attendees will discuss ways to improve rendering of non-English natural languages using the SSML W3C Recommendation which generates synthetic speech and controls pronunciation, volume, pitch and rate.

Position papers are due 23 September.
