ABSTRACT:
An automatic transcription tool executing on a computer system includes a text pre-processor, a phrasal parser, a word transcriber, and a phrasal transcription post-processor. Word orthographies are input to the text pre-processor and are then sequentially processed by the phrasal parser, word transcriber, and phrasal transcription post-processor.
In general, the text pre-processor performs initial substitution processing on the input orthography sequences, the phrasal parser groups related adjacent input orthographies into clauses, the word transcriber performs phonetic transcription, and the phrasal transcription post-processor performs functions, such as, liasion handling and sanity checking on the output phonetic transcriptions. The phonemic transcription of the input orthography is eventually output.
