Do you have a plan for Wikimania-Hackathon-2016 ? See T132721: Wikimania 2016 Hackathon Goals.

@Qgil, I started working on something that is basically eSpeak for IPA. e.g., a user highlights /'ezino/ on the Esino Lario page and it performs text to speech, actually speaking the pronunciation. It's JavaScript-y right now and currently targets Android with the hope that it could be a GreaseMonkey script / Chromium extension / MediaWiki extension eventually. I was hoping / planning to hack on it further at Wikimania.

Interesting @Niedzielski ! Is T33221: Audio pronunciation: Automatic text-to-speech to convert IPA to sound what you are trying to achieve?
Although just related, you might want to reach to Wikispeech-Editor to see whether they are participating in the Wikimania Hackathon as well.

Neat, I didn't know about this task! I think T33221 would be partially satisfied by an initial implementation targeting Android. If that goes well, a second iteration would target everywhere else and might be more appropriate for the task. If possible, I would rather not conflate any old history in T33221 with the initial fledgling implementation. Thanks!
