What made me happy this week is the release of our latest converter (check it out: https://or.wikipedia.org/s/14kh) that converts the Odia-language text into International Phonetic Alphabet and Roman. We have been struggling for some time now to add pronunciations for words and could not find anything that could do that job. So another fellow Wikimedian Prateek Pattanaik I scraped the code from an existing converter and created this. Now we are going to integrate this into our pronunciation project Kathabhidhana (https://github.com/OdiaWikimedia/Kathabhidhana) where we create pronunciations of words. The next batch of audio recordings will come on Commons with IPA and Romanization. Yay for more metadata! :)
