Speech Application Language Tags (SALT) is a set of tags made to extend Extensible Hypertext Markup Language (XHTML), Wireless Markup Language (WML), Synchronized Multimedia Integration Language (SMIL) and other markup languages by adding a spoken interface to Web applications for voice-only and multimodal browsers.

SALT was designed to bring telephony capabilities to a wide range of Graphical User Interface (GUI)-based devices. SALT is developed by a number of companies, including founding members Cisco, Comverse, Intel, Philips, Microsoft and SpeechWorks.
