This is the first part of another question of mine that had a recommendation to make it two questions: Adding Accents to Speech Generation.

Summary: The other question asks how to add an accent programatically to generated speech. Not an accent mark or inflection, but a full accent like a British or Scottish or Russian one.

The first question (same as this one) asks how the original text could be analyzed to determine what accents need to be added and where.

Basically, how could text be analyzed to find these accents and generate a set of instructions that could be used to add any accent to any generated speech?

  • You mean look at the vocabulary and spelling to try to guess what dialect the author speaks, and then pick a speech synthesizer based on that? – Mechanical snail Mar 24 '12 at 01:09
  • @Mechanicalsnail Kind of, but more like how to analyze text and convert it to the phonetic alphabet for later use... – Jon Egeland Mar 24 '12 at 01:37
