HEAD IN THE SCRIPTS — SYNTHETIC CLASSROOM PRONUNCIATION

These computer-generated recordings are approximate reading aids. They are not
recordings by the textbook authors, native speakers, or ancient speakers. They
have not had a complete specialist listening review. Please report a doubtful
pronunciation at https://headinthescripts.com/contact with the displayed word.

Greek follows an English-speaking Erasmian classroom convention (including
beta as b, eta as ay, omega as oh, rough breathing as h, and stress from the
written accent). Hebrew follows a simplified classroom reading convention:
bet/vet, kaf/khaf, pe/fe, shin/sin, vowel signs, and stress cues are retained.
Gimel, dalet, and tav use g, d, and t; waw uses v; het and soft kaf use kh.
This does not reconstruct the historical Hebrew consonant or vowel inventory.
The divine name is read as Adonai as a reading substitute, not as a proposed
pronunciation of its written consonants. Attached prefixes are sounded in
their displayed teaching form; their vowels can change in connected text.
Unpointed Hebrew roots and incomplete spelling fragments have no audio.

Synthesis uses eSpeak NG, through espeakng-loader 0.2.4, with explicit phoneme
input and a fixed voice. The website serves finished MP3 files on demand;
it does not send your study words or notes to an external speech service.

Transliteration and stress preparation: biblical-transliteration 0.5.5
by Curran Gehring (MIT). Adaptations for this site map transliteration to
phonemes, use a classroom Hebrew convention, and supply prefix readings.
