Reading sample: The Development of a Text-to-Speech Function for the Lower and Upper Sorbian Literary Languages – Introduction and Survey

Summary/Abstract: The development of a text-to-speech function for the Lower and Upper Sorbian literary languages is the subject of a five-year research project. The desired goal of creating a user-friendly service; which enables its users to read out texts in the Sorbian language comprehensibly on the website of the Sorbian Institute; as well as on other websites; requires basic research on the phonetics and phonology of Sorbian. The project makes it possible to combine providing an online service with closing a large gap in research in this area. A well-founded description of the orthoepy of both Sorbian languages can contribute to the preservation of Lower and Upper Sorbian. The results of the research outcomes and the technical developments; which follow from this project; are intended to be published in a series of further articles.
