<hr />
<div>== Introduction ==<br />
Text to speech (TTS) systems are crucial for accessibility and adoption of a language, but no TTS engine for [[:wikipedia:Totontepec Mixe |Totontepec Mixe]] (mto) currently exists. So, we are adding support for mto to [https://github.com/espeak-ng/espeak-ng eSpeak NG], an open source speech synthesizer.<br />
<br />
== The problem ==<br />
* No text to speech system for any variety of Mixe, a family of Oaxacan indigenous languages.<br />
* Screen reader panics when faced with crucial pieces of mto orthography: [[:wikipedia:Saltillo (linguistics)|saltillo]]; certain combined characters. Working with Mixe is currently difficult for people using TTS.<br />
<br />
TTS is important for: screen readers, public announcements (like train schedules), phone trees, language learning, etc.<br />
<br />
== Solution ==<br />
We have developed support (phoneme table and dictionary files) for mto in eSpeak format and submitted this work as a [https://github.com/espeak-ng/espeak-ng/pull/1193 pull request] for inclusion in a future version of the program.<br />
<br />

<div>== Introduction ==<br />
Text to speech (TTS) systems are crucial for accessibility and adoption of a language, but no TTS engine for [[:wikipedia:Totontepec Mixe |Totontepec Mixe]] (mto) currently exists. So, we are adding support for mto to [https://github.com/espeak-ng/espeak-ng eSpeak NG], an open source speech synthesizer.<br />
<br />
== The problem ==<br />
* No text to speech system for any variety of Mixe, a family of Oaxacan indigenous languages.<br />
* Screen reader panics when faced with crucial pieces of mto orthography: [[:wikipedia:Saltillo (linguistics)|saltillo]]; certain combined characters. Working with Mixe is currently difficult for people using TTS.<br />
<br />
TTS is important for: screen readers, public announcements (like train schedules), phone trees, language learning, etc.<br />
<br />
== Solution ==<br />
We have developed support (phoneme table and dictionary files) for mto in eSpeak format and submitted this work as a [https://github.com/espeak-ng/espeak-ng/pull/1193 pull request] for inclusion in a future version of the program.<br />

<div>== Introduction ==<br />
Text to speech (TTS) systems are crucial for accessibility and adoption of a language, but no TTS engine for [[:wikipedia:Totontepec Mixe |Totontepec Mixe]] (mto) currently exists. So, we are adding support for mto to [https://github.com/espeak-ng/espeak-ng eSpeak NG], an open source speech synthesizer.<br />
<br />
== The problem ==<br />
* No text to speech system for any variety of Mixe, a family of Oaxacan indigneous languages.<br />
* Screen reader panics when faced with crucial pieces of mto orthography: [[:wikipedia:Saltillo (linguistics)|saltillo]]; certain combined characters. Working with Mixe is currently difficult for people using TTS.<br />
<br />
TTS is important for: screen readers, public announcements (like train schedules), phone trees, language learning, etc.<br />
<br />
== Solution ==<br />
We have developed support (phoneme table and dictionary files) for mto in eSpeak format and submitted this work as a [https://github.com/espeak-ng/espeak-ng/pull/1193 pull request] for inclusion in a future version of the program.<br />

<div>== About me ==<br />
Hi! My name is Bill Dengler. I'm a final semester computer science major with minors in linguistics (toward which I'm counting this course) and global studies. I have been totally blind since birth due to [[:wikipedia:Norrie disease|Norrie disease]] – I use the [http://nvaccess.org NVDA] and [https://support.apple.com/en-gb/guide/iphone/iph3e2e415f/ios VoiceOver] [[:wikipedia:Screen reader|screen readers]] to access my computer and phone respectively.<br />
<br />
Though my specialty is accessible technology (after graduation, I'll be starting a full-time software engineering position at Microsoft, hopefully on the [https://accessibilityinsights.io Accessibility Insights] team), I have done a little bit at the intersection of computation and linguistics, though definitely more rooted in the former. Last semester (fall 2021), Jonathan and I [https://github.com/codeofdusk/treemendous developed a tool] to make syntax trees (and other types of trees more generally) accessible to blind people. While I am interested in language, especially how it operates as a "system", my linguistics experience is far more limited, particularly in the areas of phonetics and phonology.<br />
<br />
This semester, [[user:Eresend1|Elizabeth]] and I are working on [[Mixe]].<br />
<br />
If you're a future student or reader who'd like to contact me beyond spring 2022, my username virtually everywhere is codeofdusk. Choose your favourite messaging/social media app or email me at that username at gmail dot com.<br />
