French Text to Speech

French text-to-speech has to handle liaison — the normally silent final consonant that resurfaces before a vowel, as in "les_amis" — which is contextual and one of the trickiest parts to get right. The accent choice matters a great deal: Metropolitan (Parisian) French and Canadian (Québécois) French differ noticeably in vowel quality, nasalization and rhythm. French also relies on four nasal vowels and largely fixed phrase-final stress, so a natural voice groups words into rhythmic phrases rather than stressing individual words the way English does.
