Salam,
I work actually on arabic espeak package,
I have done a prototype, added some phonemes and voice,
you can listen to a sample at [url={
http://soundcloud.com/linuxscout/espeakarabic5}]{[url]http://soundcloud.com/linuxscout/espeakarabic5}
The main issue for arabic pronociation is the vowelization, so, I have already developped an arabic text vocalizer open source, at [url={
http://tahadz.com/mishkal}]{[url]http://tahadz.com/mishkal}
so I plan to join the vocalizer to espeak to allow a good text to speech conversion.
I need help to improve the arabic package,
1- I need to know how to fix stress for generale group rules, because in arabic we have a general stress like CVVC, or CV,
then, no partical stress for every word.
for example the sentene:
السَّلَامُ عَلَيْكُمْ كَيْفَ حالُكَ يَا صَدِيقِي.
is stressed by espeak like this
alss'al'a:m'o Aal'ajk'om kajf'a Ha:lok'a ja: s[ad'i:q'i: ||
but it must be stressed like this:
als'sa'la:'mo Aa'laj'kom kaj'fa Ha:'lo'ka ja: s[a'di:'qi: ||[\b]
The actual source files are in svn : http://svn.arabeyes.org/viewvc/projects/ar-espeak/[\url]
All my Thanks for farsi package developer
