I’d like to introduce myself. My name is Bryson; I’m a PhD student in Classics. I’m very interested in writing, speaking, and listening to ancient Greek, whether Attic or a more generalized educated koine.
I wanted to ask if anyone on this forum knows of a text-to-speech program for Greek (on a Mac) that uses the Erasmian pronunciation, or something similar to it. I have several voices for modern Greek, but I’d really love something closer to how ancient Greek is taught in schools. If no one has found such a program, I wonder if there would be interest among the members of this forum to request a Greek voice using the classical or erasmian pronunciation from one of the major text-to-speech providers. Because of the rules of this forum I can’t suggest which company we’d right to, but I think if enough people individually wrote requesting an ancient Greek voice, we might have success. If we started a new thread for this, we could figure out which company we think we should write to with our communal request.
I’m Italian but I live in sunny San Diego. I studied Latin in high school years ago, but I started to learn Greek on my own in the 2000s. It’s a must for any educated gentleman!
