TLDR
In this article, the assignment of phonemes to graphemes producing them in a lexicon having words (grapheme sequences) and their associated phonetic transcription (phoneme sequences) for the preparation of patterns for training neural networks for the purpose of grapheme-phonemic conversion is carried out with the aid of a variant of dynamic programming which is known as dynamic time warping (DTW).
Abstract
The assignment of phonemes to graphemes producing them in a lexicon having words (grapheme sequences) and their associated phonetic transcription (phoneme sequences) for the preparation of patterns for training neural networks for the purpose of grapheme-phoneme conversion is carried out with the aid of a variant of dynamic programming which is known as dynamic time warping (DTW).

Recognition of proper nouns using native-language pronunciation

TL;DR: This article proposed a method to improve the recognition of proper nouns by augmenting the pronunciation of each proper noun or name in the natural language of the speech recognition system with at least one "native" pronunciation in another natural language.

Speech recognition of character sequences

TL;DR: In this article, a spoken utterance of a plurality of characters can be received, and each selected known character sequence can be scored based on, at least in part, a weighting of individual characters that comprise the known sequence.
Patent

Multiple language voice recognition

TL;DR: In this paper, computer implemented speech processing generates one or more pronunciations of an input word in a first language by a non-native speaker of the first language who is a native speaker of a second language.

Heuristic for Voice Result Determination

TL;DR: In this article, a spoken utterance of a plurality of characters can be received, and each selected known character sequence can be scored based on, at least in part, a weighting of individual characters that comprise the known sequence.

Dynamic programming algorithm optimization for spoken word recognition

TL;DR: This paper reports on an optimum dynamic progxamming (DP) based time-normalization algorithm for spoken word recognition, in which the warping function slope is restricted so as to improve discrimination between words in different categories.

Rule-based learning of word pronunciations from training corpora

TL;DR: A text-to-pronunciation system includes a large training set of word pronunciations and an extractor for extracting language specific information from the training set to produce pronunciation for words not in its training set.

System for developing word-pronunciation pairs

TL;DR: In this article, an editing tool is provided for word-pronunciation pairs based on a spelled word input, which includes a transcription generator that receives the spell-checked word input from the user and generates a list of suggested phonetic transcriptions.

Hypertext navigation system controlled by spoken words

TL;DR: In this article, a hypertext navigation system that is controllable by spoken words has hypertext documents to which specific dictionaries and probability models for assisting in an acoustic voice recognition of hyper-links of this hypertext document are allocated.

Method for aligning text with audio signals

TL;DR: In this article, text segments of a text file are aligned with audio segments of an audio file, and a vocabulary and language model are generated from the text segment, and corresponding anchors are chosen in the word list and text segment.
