The aim of the research reported on here is to develop educational software tools for Breton language(1), based on speech technology. These programs are intended to be used by children in classrooms in order to improve their language knowledge (lexical, phonological, morpho-syntactic and prosodic). As they are tools involved in a pedagogical relationship with teachers, individual learners of the Breton language may have an interest in using them too. Three main applications are planned: a bilingual vocal dictionary based on speech synthesis, a prosodic trainer and a spell trainer (dictation program) using text to speech synthesis.
