This language module contains needed binaries to build and run Spanish voices.
Currently, we support both Castilian and neutral Latin bariants. In the future, we'll follow specific variants with phoneme changes, like Argentinian Spanish or others, if databases are provided. If so, these variants will be available by branches of this repository.
- [Extra] Currency support: interprets text inputs like $20,50, result: veinte dólares con cincuenta centavos.
- [Extra] date support (binaries only, not registered in the core at all): These binaries translates a given currency or date format to human-speaker readable string. It probably can be available in the future by special c++ code for it.
- Example (dd/mm/yyyy): 23/07/2025 (veintitrés de julio del dos mil veinticinco)
- Note: date support is not included in RHVoice to avoid ambiguity. Some screen reader users handles different date formats, and this can lead to misunderstandings.
- Pronunciation dictionary: this is a set of the most comon foreign entries, that which needs to be pronounced as such.
- Browsers: Chrome (croum) Firefox (fáirfox)
- Places: Texas (tejas)
- Pitch marks for exclaim and question sentences. All voices will interpret them by raising or lowering pitch, according to the pitch range of the speaker.
- [Extra] Fanci normalization: we know that NVDA has own unicode normalization support. However, RHVoice is multiplatform, and these are fully supported in this language module, useful to read poems with stylized text.
- [Extra] SAPM (Sentence-Aware Prosody Modelling): It correctly interprets prosody of Spanish words that have more than one context, and a context handles a different accentuation or stress. Rich prosody ensured, and improves experience for screen reader users.
- [Extra] Special skills to handle initialisms (AKA siglas in Spanish): This integrates special rules, especially in tokenization, to interpret initialisms as letter sequences in an efficient way.
- Examples: NVDA, CNE, ADN.
