Incorrect handling of some proper names #6

For a test phrase:

I visited Bologna and ate a bologna sandwich.

Phonemizer correctly handles Bologna vs bologna:

aɪ vˈɪzɪɾᵻd bəlˈoʊnʲə ænd ˈeɪt ɐ bəlˈoʊni sˈændwɪtʃ .

OpenPhonemizer:

ˈaɪ vˈɪzɪɾᵻd bəlˈoʊni ænd ˈeɪt ɐ bəlˈoʊni sˈændwɪtʃ .

Hi, unfortunately as DeepPhonemizer doesn’t use a rule-based system but instead trains a model on many words, it’s difficult to fix this issue besides adding that word to the training dataset. I’m planning to train a multilingual model soon and I’ll add that word.
