through the use of IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS) [9] or until IMS is available through the current IP and mobile packet switched networks as suggested by the TCAM eWG [32] 188.97Regardless of the transport method, the same AT command can be used. 188.989.16 Text-to-speech
Users shall be given the option to enable text-to-speech (TTS) on their communication device. For users with visual impairments, text-to-speech is a useful functionality. Settings for speech rate, spelling speed and number read-out (options for how numbers larger than four digits will be read) and language option will be available.
In order to specify the natural language that is used by the text-to-speech (TTS) functionality, the parameter language is used. It is defined as specified by the ISO standard for the "representation of names of languages", ISO 639 [ 22, 23]. The language codes are based upon the concept of a set of basic languages together with variants based upon the country in which they are used (e.g. French used in France is coded as "fr-FR, and when used in Canada is coded as "fr-CA").
Further enhancements on multicultural and language aspects might be relevant to address in the future. These enhancements shall be based on the guidelines and suggested future work described in EG 202 421 [2]
