couple of days back i put a query regarding transcribing English text into Urdu and in response received some worthwhile suggestions.
the one on which i am working right now makes use of CMU pronunciation dictionary and it is working fine but OOV still remain a problem. one possible solution is to train neural nets or HMM on CMU pronunciation dictionary which later on can be used to predict pronunciation of unknown words. so i wanted to know if any related exercise has been done in this regard or not?
secondly does any pronunciation dictionary (English) exist that provides syllabified word transcription instead of just providing transcription or any tool that syllabifies English text?
regards
