About Polish text to speech
Polish synthesis is demanding because of dense consonant clusters (words like "bezwzględny" or "źdźbło" string together sounds that trip up naïve grapheme-to-phoneme rules) and a rich set of sibilants — the engine must distinguish the soft ś/ź/ć from the hard sz/ż/cz and the retroflex-leaning rz. Stress is highly regular, falling on the penultimate syllable, which actually helps prosody, but the nasal vowels ą and ę shift pronunciation depending on the following consonant. Polish TTS is widely used for navigation apps, public-transport announcements and e-commerce in one of Central Europe's largest markets.
