# nl2pho - usage: nl2pho <dutch-text.txt >phonemes.pho
# the generated phoneme file is suitable for use with MBROLA,
# but you have to use the -e option in MBROLA to skip over
# spurious unpronounceable phoneme pairs (e.g. caused by English
# words in your Dutch text file!).
# Hint: Use pipes, e.g. "dir | nl2pho | mbrola -e - - | play"

# Please give me some feedback: As I am no native speaker
# of Dutch, this nl2pho definitely need some improvement!

# If you have Perl, please use the Perl version txt2phoNL,
# which has more features. This C version is specially for
# small plain Dos systems (Perl is available for free for Unix
# such as Linux, and for Windows and others).
