They also introduce a new freely available pronunciation resource (the RCRL Afrikaans Pronunciation Dictionary), the largest such dictionary that currently exists.enPronunciation dictionariesError detectionQuality verificationGrapheme-to-phonemSpeech communicationInterspeech 2010Conference PresentationDavel, M., & De Wet, F.
