Decoder - Convert phoneme sequence back to string #83

Closed patrickvonplaten closed 2 years ago

patrickvonplaten commented 2 years ago

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. I'm looking for a tool that let's one convert a sequence of phonemes back to text. E.g. when training a speech recognition model, one usually converts a sentence to a phoneme sequence, then trains the model, and then it would be nice to be able to re-convert the phoneme sequence back to the sentence. Is this maybe possible?

This would be really interesting -- you're not the first one asking for such a feature -- but this is out-of-scope for the phonemizer. It is basically a wrapper on TTS software (espeak and festival) and there actually no way to convert the phonemes back to text...

Thanks for the quick answer!
