I have a real need (education app) for the Google TTS engine to support SSML; 
particularly the audio/src tag/parameter, the emphasis tag, and the rate 
parameter according to the w3.org spec.

I think there's a strong argument for at least the unicode representation of 
the IPA.

Strongly recommend

Hello. I have the problem to use phonems and it unfortunately doesn't work. As 
I read this post I was asking myself if this was already solved or not? Is the 
default tts engine able to read a phonetic alphabet like IPA or XSAMPA? Or are 
there other possibilities? Thank you!
