dict-from-g2pE

CLI to create a pronunciation dictionary by predicting English ARPAbet phonemes using seq2seq model from g2pE and the possibility of ignoring punctuation and splitting on hyphens before prediction.

Installation

pip install dict-from-g2pE --user

Usage

dict-from-g2pE-cli

Example

# Create example vocabulary
cat > /tmp/vocabulary.txt << EOF
Test?
abc,
"def
Test-def.
"xyz?
"uv-w?
EOF

# Create dictionary from vocabulary and example dictionary
dict-from-g2pE-cli \
  /tmp/vocabulary.txt \
  /tmp/result.dict \
  --split-on-hyphen \
  --n-jobs 4

cat /tmp/result.dict

Output:

Test?  T EH1 S T ?
abc,  AE1 B K ,
"def  " D EH1 F
Test-def.  T EH1 S T - D EH1 F .
"xyz?  " Z IH1 JH IH0 Z ?
"uv-w?  " AH1 V - V IY1 ?
