What the button does

It uses the Web Speech API built into compatible browsers and operating systems, preferring an en-GB voice when available.

What it does not do

It does not reproduce a locally reviewed Scots, Doric, Glaswegian, or other Scottish pronunciation. Device voices may be inaccurate.

Why text remains primary

Visible pronunciation guides and context are available even when speech synthesis is unsupported or unsuitable.

Future reviewed recordings

Human audio would require speaker consent, place and variety metadata, and a separate editorial review record.
