Grapheme-to-phoneme conversion is a central task in any text-to-speech (reading aloud) system. Given an alphabet of spelling symbols (graphemes) and an alphabet of phonetic symbols, a mapping should be achieved transliterating strings of graphemes into strings of phonetic symbols. It is well known that this mapping is ...
