      marytts.tools.newlanguage.en_US.CMUDict2MaryFST

public class CMUDict2MaryFST
extends LexiconCreator

This class does a one-time, offline conversion from the CMUDict in Festival format (cmudict-0.4.scm and cmudict_extensions.scm) into MARY format. Specifically, the following steps are performed:

1. conversion to a text format without brackets, using '|' as the delimiter between three fields: graphemes | allophones | part-of-speech(optional)
2. conversion of the phonetic alphabet used from MRPA to SAMPA
3. creation of a compact FST representing the lexicon
4. training of Letter-to-sound rules from the data
