<acronym> tag. </snip>

Yikes, I'm hardly an expert (as has been pointed out already today) ;-)

A quick Google provides links for IBM's reader (free 30-day trial)

and (far more information than I can digest right now)
http://www.readplease.com/
http://www.bright.net/~dlphilp/linuxsound/speech.html
http://www.speech.cs.cmu.edu/comp.speech/Section5/speechlinks.html

But I haven't yet found a definitive standard for text-to-speech
interpretation of HTML. I guess I'll have to download something for a test
drive. I am interested because a couple of the sites my partner manages have
a relatively high number of disabled users.
