Text To Speech

This topic describes how you can optimize your application for the Samsung TV text-to-speech (TTS) voice guide feature. The TTS feature is helpful for users with visual limitations, since they can have difficulty using textual on-screen TV features.

Related Info

Samsung TVs support the accessibility toolkit (ATK) as part of the Web engine. If the user has activated the voice guide feature, the text-to-speech (TTS) engine can read HTML elements on the application screen.

To support the voice guide feature in your app:

  • You must set automatic focus to an HTML element when the app is launched.
  • To achieve this, set HTML’s autofocus attribute on one of the app’s elements.

Example:

<button type="button" autofocus>Click Me!</button>

To test the voice guide feature:

  1. On the TV, select "TV Menu > System > Accessibility > Voice Guide > On".
  2. Use the remote control to move focus to an application screen element.
    The voice guide reads the content inside the focused HTML element, including its child elements. For example:
    • In the following example, the voice guide says: "TTS Test".
      <div id="test" tabindex="-1" >TTS Test</div>

      document.getElementById("test").focus(); // javascript
// OR
$("#test").focus(); // jQuery
    • In the following example, the voice guide says: "TTS Test, Second Element".
      <div id="test" tabindex="-1" >
  TTS Test
  <div> Second Element.</div>
</div>

      document.getElementById("test").focus(); // javascript

The voice guide ignores elements hidden using the display: none property.

Implementing Roles and Descriptions

You can support more complex voice guide functionality by implementing roles and descriptions based on the WAI-ARIA (Web Accessibility Initiative - Accessible Rich Internet Applications) standard for Web content accessibility.

By default, the voice guide reads content in the focused HTML element in the following order:

  1. Name
    The element name and description are calculated using the rules defined in Accessible Name and Description Computation, although older Web engines do not follow the specification completely.

  2. Role
    To inform the TTS engine that an HTML element has description information, define a role for the element using the ARIA role attributes. If an HTML element does not have a defined role attribute, the Web engine maps a role to it based on the W3C standard HTML Element Role Mappings.

  3. Description
    Additional information to be read by the voice guide can be implemented using ARIA states and properties.

Inferring Names for HTML Elements

If an HTML element does not have a defined name or label, the Web engine can calculate a name from the element content, if the defined role supports it. Only some roles support calculate a name from content

The following examples show how an HTML element can be assigned a name from its content:

  • In the following code, the outer div element does not have a role defined. The voice guide says: "Section".

    <div id="thumb:0" class="homeThumb" tabindex="2000" style="cursor: pointer;">
  <div class="thumbImage"><img id="thumb:img:0" src="http://network.wwe.com/assets/images/1/7/8/263558178/cuts/215x121/cut.jpg" class="thumbImage"></div>
  <div class="thumbRule"></div>
  <div class="thumbTitle">FEATURED</div> 
  <!--%-->
</div>

  • In the following code, the "button" role is defined for the outer div element. Since the "button" role supports name from content, the voice guide says: "Featured button".

    <div id="thumb:0" class="homeThumb" tabindex="2000" style="cursor: pointer;" role="button">
  <div class="thumbImage"><img id="thumb:img:0" src="http://network.wwe.com/assets/images/1/7/8/263558178/cuts/215x121/cut.jpg" class="thumbImage"></div>
  <div class="thumbRule"></div>
  <div class="thumbTitle">FEATURED</div>
  <!--%-->
</div>

  • For compatibility with older TV Web engines that do not fully support the W3C specification, since Tizen 3.0, you can define an empty role attribute (role=""). The voice guide calculates the element name from the content, and does not say a role name. In the following code, the voice guide says: "Featured".

    <div id="thumb:0" class="homeThumb" tabindex="2000" style="cursor: pointer;" role="">
  <div class="thumbImage"><img id="thumb:img:0" src="http://network.wwe.com/assets/images/1/7/8/263558178/cuts/215x121/cut.jpg" class="thumbImage"></div>
  <div class="thumbRule"></div>
  <div class="thumbTitle">FEATURED</div>
  <!--%-->
</div>

Making Elements Focusable

Some HTML elements cannot be focused. To make the element focusable, implement the tabindex attribute:

In the following example, the voice guide says: "Aria Test, menuitem, this is the aria label".

<div id="test" tabindex="-1" role="menuitem" aria-label ="this is the aria label">
  Aria Test
</div>

document.getElementById("test").focus(); // javascrip

The following popup window uses the tabindex attribute to make the button focusable with JavaScript. When the button in the popup has focus, the voice guide says: "Error Message title, Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, Button Text, select to close".

<div id="popup" class="popup">
  <div id="popupTitle" class="title">
    Error Message title </div>
  <div id="popupText" class="text">
    Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit.
  </div>
  <div id="popupButton" role="button" tabindex="-1" class="button">
    <div aria-labelledby="popupTitle popupText"></div>
    <div class="">Button Text</div>
    <div aria-label=", select to close."></div>
  </div>
</div>

document.getElementById("popupButton").focus(); // javascript

Figure 1. Popup window

Monitoring Voice Guide Status

In general, you do not need to implement additional code to handle enabling and disabling the voice guide in your application, since it is handled with the TV menu setting. However, you can check whether the voice guide is enabled.

To check whether the voice guide is enabled, use the getMenuValue() method with the TvInfoMenuKey.VOICE_GUIDE_KEY property:

// Returns "true" if voice guide is enabled
webapis.tvinfo.getMenuValue(webapis.tvinfo.TvInfoMenuKey.VOICE_GUIDE_KEY);

To be notified when the voice guide is switched on or off:

var listenerId = '';
var onChange = function() {
  // Gets true or false status
  webapis.tvinfo.getMenuValue(webapis.tvinfo.TvInfoMenuKey.VOICE_GUIDE_KEY);
};
try {
  listenerId = webapis.tvinfo.addCaptionChangeListener(webapis.tvinfo.TvInfoMenuKey.VOICE_GUIDE_KEY, onChange);
  console.log("listener id = " + listenerId);
} catch (error) {
  console.log(" error code = " , error);
}

    Table 6. "checkbox" attribute behavior

  • combobox

    Example scenario: Legacy ARIA 1.0 Combobox With Both List and Inline Autocomplete Example

    Implementation Behavior
    Reference NVDA in Google Chrome™:
    • Move focus to the "State" combo box.
    • NVDA says: "State combo box, autocomplete, editable, blank".
    • Press the "Down" arrow key.
    • The drop-down list appears, with the first descendant activated. NVDA reads the active descendant and the edit box value: "Alabama, 1 of 56. State combobox, autocomplete, editable, Alabama".
    Tizen Tizen 4.0:
    • When the "State" combo box has focus, the voice guide says: "State drop-down list, showing 0 item".
    • When the drop-down list appears, the first descendant is activated, and the voice guide reads: "Alabama". Since sequential navigation with the "Tab" key is not supported on TVs, navigate between list items with the "Up" and "Down" arrow keys.
    • To select an item from the list, click the remote control "Done" key, and use the "Left" or "Right" arrow key to move focus away from the combo box.

    Tizen 3.0:
    • When the combo box has focus, the IME appears with focus. The voice guide reads the IME input.

    Tizen 2.4:
    • When the "State" combo box has focus, the voice guide says: "State drop-down list, press OK button to open the menu". Instead of showing the drop-down list, clicking the remote control "OK" key opens the IME.
    • Clicking the "Down" arrow key navigates out of the combo box.
    • When focus is on the combo box open button, clicking "OK" shows the drop-down list and focus moves to the combo box. However, clicking any arrow key moves focus away from the combo box.

    Table 7. "combobox" attribute behavior

  • dialog

    Example scenario: Modal Dialog Example

    Implementation Behavior
    Reference NVDA in Google Chrome™:
    • Click "Add Delivery Address".
      A dialog box appears, with focus on the "Street" field. NVDA reads the dialog box title and the entry field title.
    Tizen Tizen 4.0:
    • Same behavior as the reference implementation, but the voice guide does not read the dialog box title.

    Tizen 3.0:
    • Same behavior as on Tizen 4.0.

    Tizen 2.4:
    • Same behavior as on Tizen 4.0.

  • grid and grid-cell

    Example scenario: Layout Grid Examples

    Implementation Behavior
    Reference NVDA in Google Chrome™:
    • In "Example 1: Simple List of Links", move focus to the first grid item.
      NVDA says: "Related Documents, table with 1 row and 6 columns".
    Tizen Tizen 4.0:
    • When a grid item has focus, the voice guide only reads the grid item content.
    • To navigate within the grid, use the arrow keys. However, JavaScript consumes the arrow key events, so you must consider how to implement navigating away from the grid.
    • Within the Web browser, navigation between grid items can have unintended behavior, such as focus moving twice when the arrow key is clicked once.
    • Because grid is a composite UI element, and there is no "Tab" key on a remote control, you must consider how to implement focus movement to descendants.

    Tizen 3.0:
    • Same behavior as on Tizen 4.0.

    Tizen 2.4:
    • Not supported. When a grid item has focus, the voice guide only reads the grid item content.

  <div tabindex="0" role="listitem">second item</div>
  <div tabindex="0" role="listitem">third item</div>
</div>
    Implementation Behavior
    Reference NVDA in Google Chrome™:
    • Move focus to the list element.
    • NVDA reads all the descendent list items.
    • Move focus to a list item.
    • NVDA reads the list item.

    Note: To make a list element focusable, you must assign a tabindex attribute to it.
    Tizen Tizen 4.0:
    • When focus is on the list element, the voice guide does not read the descendent list items.
    • When a list item has focus, the voice guide reads the list item.
    • To make a list element focusable, you must assign a tabindex attribute to it.

    Tizen 3.0:
    • Same behavior as on Tizen 4.0.

    Tizen 2.4:
    • Focus can be moved to the list element. The voice guide treats the list and its items as static text.

    Table 12. "list" and "listitem" attribute behavior

  • listbox

    Example scenario: Listbox Example

    Implementation Behavior
    Reference NVDA in Google Chrome™:
    • Within the list box, when navigating or selecting items, aria-activedescendant changes to the currently-focused item, but DOM focus stays on the list box element.
    Tizen Tizen 4.0:
    • To navigate within the list box, use the arrow keys. However, JavaScript consumes the arrow key events, so you must consider how to implement navigating away from the list box.
    • In "Example 2: Multi-Select Listbox", clicking "OK" does not change the checkbox state.
    • Within the Web browser, navigation between list items can have unintended behavior, such as focus moving twice when the arrow key is clicked once.
    • Because listbox is a composite UI element, and there is no "Tab" key on a remote control, you must consider how to implement focus movement to descendants.

    Tizen 3.0:
    • Same behavior as on Tizen 4.0.

    Tizen 2.4:
