See I work in accessibility. Like I provide and create solutions direct to end users with complex needs. Not regular web accessibility. I get the view of this. It’s the same idea of universal access. But actually I don’t fully agree. Yes. I

Probably not. Typical eyegaze using IR has two main ways of working - bright eye or dark eye. This though wont care as much. Its based on a inference model..

Are you not looking for ssml with ipa tag? I think you might be. It’s part of all your standard OS tts - including espeak-ng on Linux. Also in Google cloud, azure, Watson, and Amazon Polly voices.

Like SSML? See azure tts or google cloud tts, or ibm Watson or even old school system tts like SAPI voices on windows. But I hear you. In a VITS typical model system ssml isn’t standard. Piper tts does have it on the roadmap.

I hire regularly on upwork. There are a TON of developers lying about who they are or where they are in the world (I swear, despite the Russian embargo there are a lot of devs from Russia who have found loopholes via Turkey etc). The bigges
