Korean Text to Speech

Korean text-to-speech must handle Hangul, a featural alphabet whose syllable blocks the engine decomposes into onset, nucleus, and coda before mapping to phonemes. The hardest synthesis problems are pervasive sound-change rules — liquid assimilation, nasalization, and tensification — where written and spoken forms diverge, plus the honorific verb endings (-습니다 vs -아요) that shift register. Most demand comes from the Seoul standard, though a synthesizer aiming at naturalness must also decide pitch-accent contours for the southeastern Gyeongsang dialect; typical users are e-learning publishers, navigation apps, and KakaoTalk-style notification readers.

Korean Text to Speech — FAQ

Yes. The engine tokenizes eojeol (spacing units) and applies Korean phonological rules, so it pronounces tightly written or loosely spaced text consistently, though clear spacing still improves prosody on long sentences.

The synthesis reproduces whatever speech level your text uses. Formal endings like -습니다 and polite -요 are read with appropriate intonation; it does not convert register on its own, so write the politeness level you want spoken.

Loanwords written in Hangul (e.g. 컴퓨터, 카페) are read with their Koreanized phonology. Latin-script English mixed into the text is pronounced as English, which can sound abrupt, so transliterating to Hangul gives smoother output.

Yes. Standard Korean assimilation rules are applied, so 국물 is voiced as [궁물] and 신라 as [실라] without you needing to respell the source text.
