- 2008 January 20, Maximilian Bisani and Hermann Ney, “Joint-sequence models for grapheme-to-phoneme conversion”, in Speech Communication, volume 50, number 5, United States, , pages 434-451:
- Automatic grapheme-to-phoneme conversion was first considered in the context of text-to-speech (TTS) applications. After normalization (expanding abbreviation, numerals, etc.) the input text needs to be converted to a sequence of phonemes which is then used to control a speech synthesizer. The simplest technique is dictionary look-up.
