Cross Promotion: OZeWAI Keynote by Léonie Watson (Registration required)

Topic: You talkin' to me?

The front end is changing.

It's no longer something we have to push, tap or click. It has quite literally taken on a voice of its own, and using technologies like Speech Synthesis Markup Language (SSML), the Web Speech API and (maybe one day) the CSS Speech module, we can create Alexa skills, Google Home actions, and web applications that sound a lot more interesting than you might think!
