Abstract
This paper presents a grapheme-phone converter and stress determination algorithm based on rules. The proposed set of rules was implemented and tested on a randomly chosen extract of the CETEN-Folha text database. Computer experiments show it is achieve an accuracy of 97.44% and 98.58%, respectively, for the grapheme-phone converter and the stress determination algorithm.
