One of the most useful CSS3 speech module properties that Fire Vox supports is the say-instead property. Although it is still being discussed for official adoption, Fire Vox already has support for it since it can be an invaluable for web developers who need to specify how a word should be spoken when that word can be read in multiple ways depending on the context. In the example on this page, the same content will be presented first without using the CSS say-instead property and then again using it. Even though this content is very short, contains only text, and has nothing which would normally be considered challenging for accessibility, it will still be quite difficult for a visually impaired user to comprehend because of all the things which simply don't sound right. Note that some commercial voices may perform better than the free Microsoft ones; however, you should not assume that users have these better voices installed. To see just how bad this example is, use the Microsoft Mary voice.
I <3 movies. In fact, that's why I named my web site, "I <3 movies." Some of my fondest childhood memories involve going to the movie theater at Kapp St. & St. John's Road. My favorite movies include The Godfather I, Star Wars II: Attack of the Clones, xXx, Rocky IV, King Henry V, and L4yer Cake.
