About Swedish text to speech
Swedish is a pitch-accent language, and getting that prosody right is the central challenge of Swedish text-to-speech. Many word pairs are spelled identically but distinguished only by tone — accent 1 versus accent 2 — so a flat synthesizer makes "anden" (the duck) and "anden" (the spirit) sound the same. Swedish also has a phonemic distinction between long and short vowels plus the notoriously soft sje-sound, a fricative that varies widely by region and is hard to render naturally. A convincing Swedish voice must therefore model both the two-way tonal accent and the long/short vowel quantity rather than treating stress as a simple loudness bump.
