Conversational Semantics for the Web
summary
Claims that semantic HTML and ARIA let existing pages feed voice assistants, backed by examples: markup for emphasis and language shifts, a speech synthesis API demo of spoken emphasis, landmark roles and heading IDs for quick jumps, tabindex and aria-describedby for inline errors, and input types plus autocomplete tokens to reduce form friction. Notes that roughly four and a half billion pages of content are untapped, shows how download, hrefLang and validation attributes behave, and stresses server‑side validation as the final defense.
