5. A method for converting data of a hyper text markup language (HTML) document to speech comprising the steps of: parsing one or more HTML to speech (HTS) control rules, said step of parsing comprising the steps of: in response to an intonation/speed rule, generating a tag mapping table entry indexed by an HTML text tag specified in said intonation/speed rule and containing a tag identifier unique to said HTML text tag, and generating a parameter set table entry, pointed to by said entry of said tag mapping table indexed by said tag specified in said intonation/speed rule, and containing a set of intonation and speed parameters indicated by said intonation/speed rule, in response to an audio data rule, generating a tag mapping table entry indexed by an HTML text tag specified in said audio data rule and containing a tag identifier unique to said HTML text tag, and generating an audio data table entry, pointed to by said entry of said tag mapping table indexed by said tag specified in said audio data rule, and containing audio data indicated by said audio data rule, in response to an enunciation rule, generating an enunciation table entry indexed by a text string in an HTML document and containing at least a replacement text string, that is converted to a particular audio sound of one of plural enunciations of said index text string, indicated by said enunciation rule, and in response to a terminology translation rule, generating a terminology translation table entry indexed by a text string in an HTML document that cannot be converted to an audio sound by a predetermined text to speech converter and containing a replacement text string that can be converted to an audio sound by said predetermined text to speech converter.

The method of claim 5 further comprising the steps of: parsing data of an HTML document, in response to parsing an HTML text tag, attempting to index one or more entries of said tag mapping table using a particular parsed HTML text tag that encapsulates data yet to be parsed, using a pointer in each indexed tag mapping table entry, to identify entries of said intonation/speed table and said audio data table indicated by said indexed tag mapping table entries, modifying an intonation and speed by each set of parameters contained in each identified intonation/speed table entry, and inserting audio data contained in each identified audio table entry.
