transcriber-wrapper 1.1.0

A wrapper of well-known translators that transform text into its phonetic transcription

Transcriber Wrapper

Inspired by Phonemizer, this a simpler version focused in transcription applications that work with IPA (International Phonetic Alphabet). This works like a wrapper which is responsible to call a back-end application, let's say espeak-ng. It adds some features on top of it like with stress option.

Usage

For now, you need to install espeak-ng on your operational system. See Dockerfile.dev as an example. After that, you can create a transcriber and then use it in your logic:

from typing import List

import transcriber_wrapper

# The standard language is "en-us"
transcriber_en_us = transcriber_wrapper.build_transcriber()

def do_the_thing(words: List[str]) -> List[str]:
    return transcriber_en_us.transcribe(words)

Development

Executing commands directly on the binaries

After building the remote interpreter service, just enter in it:

docker-compose run remote-interpreter sh

You must be at /usr/bin/. Then try one of these below:

espeak-ng "Hello my friend, stay awhile and listen!" -ven-us -x --ipa -q --sep=_
espeak-ng "Curiosity" -ven-us -x --ipa -q --sep=" "
espeak-ng "If you will not bow before a sultan, then you will cower before a sorcerer!" -ven-us -x --ipa -q
