Training-Free Pronunciation Transcription via Text-Constrained Acoustic Rescoring

Excerpt

arXiv:2609.30924v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Accurate and efficient pronunciation transcription is essential for preparing text-to-speech training data at scale. Existing approaches have different limitations: grapheme-to-pronunciation (G2P) and speech-to-pronunciation (S2P) methods each capture only partial information, using only text or only speech, while speech-and-text-to-pronunciation (ST2P) methods use both but require costly pronunciation-annotated data. To address this problem, we pr
