Elder Scrolls contains many unique words, which may be difficult for a text-to-speech model to pronounce correctly. ARPAbet is a special notation for how words should be pronounced. ARPAbet dictionaries are a feature supported in xVASynth v2.0+, to make voices automatically use the correct pronunciation for the words in the dictionary.
There are a couple thousand unique words to cover for Elder Scrolls, that are not already in CMUDict, an English pronunciation dictionary with ~135k words already included with xVASynth. Not all words in this list are actually important (most will get skipped). The number of words finished and packaged up will grow over time, as more people contribute.
There are 360 words finished right now, as of v1.0.4.
Installation
The dictionary is a simple .json file, and you can install it by placing it in the <xVASynth.exe>/resources/app/arpabet/<here> folder.
How to use
The words can be enabled/disabled/edited from the ARPAbet menu, in xVASynth. You can access this via the ae symbol at the top-right.
All words that are ticked on will automatically get replaced by the app, when synthesizing a line with that word in it.
Contributors, and how to help
Check out the xVASynth Discord server for instructions on how to help contribute to the project. Alternatively, if you notice an incorrect pronunciation, do let me know!
