ABSTRACT:
A compressed pronunciation lexicon file is generated from a source pronunciation lexicon using a pronunciation prediction algorithm in a multi-output mode. The pronunciation prediction algorithm may generate a deterministic ordered list of phoneme strings from the textual representation of a particular word. The compressed pronunciation lexicon file may include a sorted list of records of compressed textual representations of words and compressed phonetic representations of the words.
