Sun Microsystems, Inc. has worked in partnership with leading speech technology companies to define the specifications for the Java Speech API and the Java Speech Markup Language (JSML).

JSML has benefited from many previous initiatives to mark up speech output, but two deserve particular mention for using an SGML-like syntax: work at Edinburgh University (Taylor, P. A. and Isard, A., SSML: A speech synthesis markup language, Speech Communication 21 (1997) p. 123-133) and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Slott, J. M., A General Platform and Markup Language for Text to Speech Synthesis, MIT Masters Thesis, 1996).
