h1. "Tweetspeak":https://tweetspeak.rbrd.in

Tweetspeak is a little experiment involving JavaScript, HTML5 audio and speech synthesis on Twitter. It consists of an small piece of JavaScript code that, when executed on Twitter web interface, adds an _Speak_ link next to every tweet on the page, allowing users to listen to any particular tweet in its original language.

h2. Dependencies

The script relies on the "jQuery library":https://jquery.com/ in order to run, which is already included by Twitter on its site as of now. The "Microsoft Translator service":https://www.microsofttranslator.com/dev/ is used for language detection, translation and speech synthesis (TTS), requiring the use of a private "Bing AppID":https://www.bing.com/toolbox/bingdeveloper/.

h2. Compatibility

Tweetspeak has been test on Chrome 12, Firefox 5, IE9, Opera 11 and Safari 5. It should work on any browser that supports "HTML5 audio":https://dev.w3.org/html5/spec/Overview.html#the-audio-element and the WAV format, as well as the @DOMNodeInserted@ event.
