Described is a technology by which artificial words are generated based on seed words, and then used with a letter-to-sound conversion model. To generate an artificial word, a stressed syllable of a seed word is replaced with a different syllable, such as a candidate (artificial) syllable, when the phonemic structure and/or graphonemic structure of the stressed syllable and the candidate syllable match one another. In one aspect, the artificial words are provided for use with a letter-to-sound conversion model, which may be used to generate artificial phonemes from a source of words, such as in conjunction with other models. If the phonemes provided by the various models for a selected source word are in agreement relative to one another, the selected source word and an associated artificial phoneme may be added to a training set which may then be used to retrain the letter-to-sound conversion model.
