FrenchTextPreprocessor

Intelligent French text preprocessor that normalizes text before TTS synthesis.

Handles common French-specific patterns that Android TTS engines often mispronounce:

• Abbreviations (M. -> Monsieur, Mme -> Madame, etc.)

• Ordinal suffixes (1er -> premier, 2ème -> deuxième, etc.)

• Time formats (14h30 -> 14 heures 30)

• Units with correct plural forms (3 km -> 3 kilomètres)

• Roman numerals in context (Louis XIV -> Louis quatorze)

• Currency symbols (15€ -> 15 euros)

• Percentage signs (50% -> 50 pourcent)
