Phoneme Guesser
Utility to retrieve phonemes from text
This was developed for wake word detection automation using pocketsphinx,
phonemes are retrieved from slightly processed .dict files in models
from sourceforge
for en and es, out of vocab words will use an heuristic approach, for
other languages out of vocab words will return closest match from known
words
help wanted to implement heuristics for other languages
see supported languages in this folder
