API endpoint - Grapheme/phoneme detection #53 #33

Open JerameyATyler opened 4 years ago

We need to have an API endpoint up for grapheme and phoneme detection. This isn't provided by any cloud service that I am aware of and we're currently handling it through a tool called the Montreal Forced Aligner. I'm thinking a Google Cloud function that calls a Flask server that we manage.

This endpoint needs to receive a text transcript and a language code and will return a JSON object of graphemes and phonemes recognized and their locations. The language code will need to be verified against a list of languages with available grapheme to phoneme models and those without a matching model will be rejected. The transcript will need to be saved to a file before running the Montreal Forced Aligner. Results are output in a proprietary format, I've got scripts on my local machine that can format it to JSON that I'll provide you. A large part of this task will be getting the MFA and its associated models accessible.
