Transliteration of the sentences from devanagari script to ILSL12 convention

[bharat-patidar]

Hi Kunal,
Your work is wonderful.
I just wanted to know how can I get transliteration of sentences from devanagari script to ILSL12 conventions. It would be great if you can guide me.

Thanks,
Bharat

@KunalDhawan Hi Kunal, I'm curious too! I found many standards to transfer devanagari script to Roman script, but not sure which standard you used.

Hi @kkokdari ,
You can use this parser.

@bharat-patidar appreciation! Thx for replying me!!! Do you have the devanagari script of the 150 sentences * 7 speakers mentioned in this repo? Or have you tested this unified parser tool can get the unified result which is the same as the input of this repo?

Thx Bharat Patidar!

[bharat-patidar]

Yes, I have used this parser and results are same.
Kunal has also used the same parser.

@bharat-patidar I've read the paper of this parser, and have some corresponding questions for it.
(sorry to bother you! I'm interested in Hindi speech synthesis and recognition, but after reading some papers I still cannot figure out answers of the following questions)
1、If we only build hindi speech recognition/synthesis system, why we still need to transfer original text to Roman script?
2、The input text of this repo is just like 'aadivaasii', transliterated by the Common Phone Set? But the alphabet 'v' doesn't exist in the Common Phone Set

3、in the lexicon.txt, for example, 'aashiirvaada aa sh ii r w aa d', the word 'aashiirvaada' is transliterated by the Common Phone Set without rules, while the phones 'aa sh ii r w aa d' is transliterated by the Common Phone Set with rules described in the paper

Appreciation for your reply!

Yes, I have used this parser and results are same.
Kunal has also used the same parser.

Sorry to bother you again! @bharat-patidar I build the unified parser but failed cause of segmental fault when using it like ./unified-parser 'अंगार' 1 0 0 0.

Do you know how to use it successfully?

Yes, I had faced similar error as well.

My issue was because of flex and bison dependencies. You have to install this libraries as mentioned in one of the file of parser.

Also, I didn't face this segmentation fault issue when I ran it on amazon ec2 instance.

Hope this helps!

Didn't understand your question.
If you still need help on this, we can discuss this offline.

Hell, Have you solved this issue? I am facing the same issue!
I have also raised the same on the IITM TTS group
