## Papers

1. **[ReNikud: Audio-Supervised Hebrew Grapheme-to-Phoneme Conversion](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/langstream-2026-melichov-renikud-audio-supervised-hebrew-grapheme/)** *(2026)* Modern Hebrew is written without most vowels, so pronunciation needs either diacritics or a direct grapheme-to-phoneme model.
2. **[Phonikud: Overcoming Phonetic Underspecification for Hebrew Text-To-Speech](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/langstream-2025-kolani-phonikud-overcoming-phonetic-underspecification-hebrew/)** *(2025)* Modern Hebrew is written without most vowels, and even pointed text leaves out stress and whether a shva is pronounced.
