OVOS Dialog Normalizer

A dialog transformer plugin for OpenVoiceOS (OVOS).

This plugin prepares text for a text-to-speech (TTS) engine. It expands contractions and converts digits to words, so the TTS engine pronounces the text correctly. It supports multiple languages.

Examples:

• "I'm" -> "I am"
• "Dr." -> "Doctor"
• "1" -> "one"

Install

pip install ovos-dialog-normalizer-plugin

Configuration

Add an entry under "dialog_transformers" in your mycroft.conf to enable the plugin.

"dialog_transformers": {
    "ovos-dialog-normalizer-plugin": {}
}
