Rules for Automatic Grapheme-to-Allophone Transcription in Slovene
نویسندگان
چکیده
The domain of spoken language technologies ranges from speech input and output systems to complex understanding and generation systems, including multi-modal systems of widely differing complexity (such as automatic dictation machines) and multilingual systems (for example, automatic dialogue and translation systems). The definition of standards and evaluationmethodologies for such systems involves the specification and development of highly specific spoken language corpus and lexicon resources, and measurement and evaluation tools [5]. This paper presents the MobiLuz spoken resources of the Slovene language, which will be made freely available for research purposes in speech technology and linguistics.

Data Driven Approaches to Phonetic Transcription with Integration of Automatic Speech Recognition and Grapheme-to-Phoneme for Spoken Buddhist Sutra
We propose a new approach for performing phonetic transcription of text that utilizes automatic speech recognition (ASR) to help traditional grapheme-to-phoneme (G2P) techniques. This approach was applied to transcribe Chinese text into Taiwanese phonetic symbols. By augmenting the text with speech and using automatic speech recognition with a sausage searching net constructed from multiple pro...
متن کاملAllophone-based acoustic modeling for Persian phoneme recognition
Phoneme recognition is one of the fundamental phases of automatic speech recognition. Coarticulation which refers to the integration of sounds, is one of the important obstacles in phoneme recognition. In other words, each phone is influenced and changed by the characteristics of its neighbor phones, and coarticulation is responsible for most of these changes. The idea of modeling the effects o...
متن کاملSystematic Interrelations Between Grapheme Frequencies and Word Length: Empirical Evidence from Slovene
This paper focuses on the question whether grapheme frequencies are in a direct relationship to word length. In other words, a possible interrelation between the frequency of graphemes and the length of linguistic units is discussed. Based on different Slovene text types it is shown that the Altmann-Menzerath law is an adequate theoretical explanation for the supposed interrelation between grap...
متن کاملInferring Hierarchical Pronunciation Rules from a Phonetic Dictionary
This work presents a new phonetic transcription system based on a tree of hierarchical pronunciation rules expressed as context-specific grapheme-phoneme correspondences. The tree is automatically inferred from a phonetic dictionary by incrementally analyzing deeper context levels, eventually representing a minimum set of exhaustive rules that pronounce without errors all the words in the train...
متن کاملComputational Phonology: Merged, not Mixed
Research into text-to-speech systems has become a rather important topic in the areas of linguistics and phonetics. Particularly for English, several text-to-speech systems have been established (cf. for' example llertz (1982), Klatt (1976)). For Dutch, text-to-speech systems are being developed at the University of Nijmegen (cf. Wester (1984)) and at the Universities of Utrecht and Leyden and ...
