Ah, didn't consider that. Good point indeed.

Subject: Re: [WebAIM] IOS pronunciation issue

Hello,

I am not sure on this, but I believe that Safari at least supports Speech CSS so you might be able to do:
.usdSpan { spellout }

Documentation was found at:

I would be interested in knowing if this works.

Best wishes,

Jonathan Cohn
