| speak | NN n/a IE n/a CSS 2 |
| Inherited: Yes | |
For aural style sheets, this specifies whether a browser equipped for text-to-speech should speak the element's content, and if so, whether the speech should be as words or spelled out character-by-character. |

| CSS Syntax | |
speak: speechType
|
|
| Value | |
Three possible constant values: none | normal | spell-out. A value of none means that speech is turned off. The browser does not delay over the duration of the speech and any specified pauses (see the volume:silent attribute value). A value of normal turns on speech and reads the text as words. A value of spell-out turns on speech and reads the content letter-by-letter (certainly applicable to abbr and acronym elements). |
