All these discussions are interesting, but worthless. Because... we are obsolete, our money room will be larger soon, but there's no plan to go beyond 3-4 wishlist ideas every year.
And that's the drama. ________________________________ From: Bence Damokos bdamokos@gmail.com Sent: Wednesday, October 27, 2021 6:53 PM To: Wikimedia Mailing List wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org Subject: [Wikimedia-l] Re: An Uzbek praktical joke and Wikimedia Enterprise
Still, consider that if the spoken feature is exposed to all users, it would raise awareness to more people when articles are not well formated for screen readers… And screen readers are not available in all languages, so the effort put into the speech synthesizer in new languages could benefit a wider userbase.

Not sure that duplicating the work of a range of screen readers is the best use of our resources.
I agree; such functionality belongs in the user client (screen reader, browser, whatever), not in the subject website.
an excerpt from the marketing text
As a professional web manager (1994-2011), I had companies trying to sell me such services regularly. And why wouldn't they, given the number of websites they could sell it to, over, and over, and over, again?
Equally consistently, people who /needed/ such assistance told us they wanted it in the client, not the website; and that all they required of the websites was to be web-standards-complaint (by which they meant WCAG[1]).
