SABLE

SABLE is an XML markup language used to annotate texts for speech synthesis. It defines tags which control the way words, numbers, and sentences are reproduced by a computer. SABLE was developed as an informal joint project between Sun Microsystems, AT&T, Bell Labs and Edinburgh University (the initial letters of each make the word "SABLE") as an initiative to combine the three previous speech synthesis markup languages SSML, STML, and JSML.
