Worked on the increpare/espeak-ng repository to enhance linguistic data quality and developer experience. Focused on refining the Portuguese dictionary by removing low-frequency names based on census data, which improved the relevance of the pt_list output. Updated build documentation in Markdown to clarify g++ as a required dependency, supporting more reproducible builds. Addressed input processing robustness by substituting problematic Unicode replacement characters with a safer alternative, reducing errors during text processing. Leveraged skills in C, character encoding, and data curation to deliver targeted improvements that increased reliability for both contributors and end users, demonstrating attention to detail and practical problem-solving.
October 2024: Delivered targeted improvements in espeak-ng including data quality refinement for the Portuguese dictionary, updated build prerequisites docs, and a robustness fix for input processing. These changes reduce noise in pt_list, improve build reproducibility, and prevent processing errors from invalid characters, delivering measurable business value and a smoother contributor experience.
