Usage

from convert_pa import nofabet_to_ipa, nofabet_to_sampa, sampa_to_ipa, nofabet_to_syllables

# Convert from Nofabet
nofabet_transcription = "B IH2 L IH0 H EE0 T S AEH0 R S T AH3 T N IH0 NG G AX0 N S"

# to IPA
print(nofabet_to_ipa(nofabet_transcription))
# '"bɪ.lɪ.heːt.sær.ˌstɑt.nɪŋ.gəns'

# to X-SAMPA 
print(nofabet_to_sampa(nofabet_transcription))
# '""bI$lI$he:t$s{r$%stAt$nIN$g@ns'

# Convert from X-SAMPA to IPA
sampa_transcription = '""On$d@$%lE*u0s'
print(sampa_to_ipa(sampa_transcription))
# "ɔn.də.ˌlæ͡ʉs

# Divide a nofabet transcription into syllables (list of lists of phonemes)
# Word: "Billigsalg"
nofabet_to_syllables("B IH2 L IH0 S AH1 L G ")
