I've been working on adding Cherokee support to the espeak-ng speech synthesizer. While more work definitely needs done, I think this is a good start.
I have chosen to use the Cherokee-English Dictionary phonetics, as this is the only written form that indicates both tone and cadence that is in common use. Hopefully the results will be good enough at a future date to be able to add pronunciations for all the C.E.D. and Raven Rock entries at the Cherokee Dictionary Project
I have posted here the espeak-ng output for 100 of the conjugated challenges from the Bound Pronouns app for review by those interested.
I've been pondering the creation of a basic vocabulary training app using the CED entries as the source in combination with the synthetic speech. Your thoughts? (Or maybe a classifiers focused app?)
