Speech Synthesis Markup Language is a W3C recommendation and is designed to provide a rich, XML-based markup language for assisting the generation of synthetic speech in Web and other applications.

Here is an example of a SSML document:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<speak version="1.0"
         xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/10/synthesis"
         xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
         xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.w3.org/2001/10/synthesis
                   http://www.w3.org/TR/speech-synthesis/synthesis.xsd"
         xml:lang="en-US">
  ... the body ...
</speak>
