Re: Hints for screen reader speech attributes

I normally don't use these settings and I am working from memory.

Jaws, VoiceOver Mac and NVDA can announce the font attribute like italic as a word.

Jaws has a sound scheme which can change the pitch, synth (TTS) being used, etc. Not sure if NVDA without a plugin, VoiceOver for Mac does this. iOS VoiceOver and Talkback from memory does not support this capability.

The caveat to the above is if the screen reader supports the font attributes or tags in the first place.
