The aural CSS media type is used for devices that have speech output capabilities.
Note: This media type has been deprecated in favor of speech.
Syntax
The aural CSS media type—which has been deprecated in favor of the speech media type—was used to specify a block of CSS that applied only when the content is being presented using a speech synthesis device.
@media aural {
/* speech-specific styles here */
}
Updating existing CSS to use the speech media type should be as simple as replacing aural with speech.
Examples
Basic example
@media aural {
body { voice-family: Paul }
}
