Italian text-to-speech benefits from a famously transparent orthography — spelling maps to sound far more predictably than in English — but synthesis still hinges on two traps written Italian leaves unmarked: the position of word stress (ancòra vs àncora) and consonant doubling (gemination), which distinguishes pairs like nonno from nono. The engine must also resolve open versus closed e and o vowels and apply syntactic doubling (raddoppiamento) across word boundaries. The standard target is the Tuscan-derived national norm of RAI broadcasting rather than the strong Roman, Neapolitan, or Milanese regional accents; typical users include audiobook houses, GPS navigation vendors, and museum audio-guide producers.
