Abstract
The purpose of this paper is (1) to make an extensive overview of the field of diacritics restoration in Romanian texts, (2) to present our own experiments and results and to promote the use of the word-based Viterbi algorithm as a better accuracy solution used already in a free web-based TTS implementation, (3) to announce the production of a new, high-quality, high-volume corpus of Romanian texts, twice the size of the Romanian language subset of the JRC-Acquis.
