Pronounced like 'p' + 'isle'.
|
||
|
||
An interface for the ILSEX (international speech lexicon) dictionary,
|
||
along with some tools for working with comparing and aligning
|
||
pronunciations (e.g. a list of phones someone said versus a standard or
|
||
canonical dictionary pronunciation).

Common Use Cases
|
||
================
|
||
|
||
What can you do with this library?
|
||
|
||
- look up the list of phones and syllables for canonical pronunciations
|
||
of a word::
|
||
|
||
pysle.isletool.LexicalTool.lookup('cat')
|
||
|
||
- map an actual pronunciation to a dictionary pronunciation (can be used
|
||
to automatically find speech errors)::
|
||
|
||
pysle.pronunciationtools.findClosestPronunciation(isleDict, 'cat', ['kh', 'ae',])
|
||
|
||
- automatically syllabify a praat textgrid containing words and phones
|
||
(e.g. force-aligned text) -- requires my
|
||
`praatIO <https://github.com/timmahrt/praatIO>`_ library::
|
||
|
||
pysle.syllabifyTextgrid(isleDict, praatioTextgrid, "words", "phones")

||
Requirements
|
||
================
|
||
|
||
- Before you use this library (before or after installing it) you will need
|
||
to download the ILSEX dictionary. It can be downloaded here:
|
||
|
||
`ISLEX project page <http://www.isle.illinois.edu/sst/data/dict/>`_
|
||
|
||
`Direct link to the ISLEX file used in this project
|
||
<http://www.isle.illinois.edu/sst/data/dict/islex/islev2.txt>`_ (islev2.txt)
|
||
|
||
- ``Python 2.7.*`` or above
|
||
|
||
- ``Python 3.3.*`` or above
|
||
|
||
- The `praatIO <https://github.com/timmahrt/praatIO>`_ library is required IF
|
||
you want to use the textgrid functionality. It is not required
|
||
for normal use.
|
||
|
||
|
||
Installation
|
||
================
|
||
|
||
If you on Windows, you can use the installer found here (check that it is up to date though)
|
||
`Windows installer <http://www.timmahrt.com/python_installers>`_
|
||
|
||
Otherwise, to manually install, after downloading the source from github, from a command-line shell, navigate to the directory containing setup.py and type::
|
||
|
||
python setup.py install
|
||
|
||
If python is not in your path, you'll need to enter the full path e.g.::
|
||
|
||
C:\Python27\python.exe setup.py install
|
||
|
||
|
||
Example usage
|
||
================
|
||
|
||
Here is a typical common usage::
|
||
|
||
from pysle import isle
|
||
isleDict = isle.LexicalTool('C:\islev2.dict')
|
||
print isleDict.lookup('catatonic')[0] # Get the first pronunciation
|
||
>> [['kh', '@,'], ['t_(', '&'], ['th', "A'"], ['n', 'I', 'kh']] [2]
|
||
|
||
and another::
|
||
|
||
from pysle import isle
|
||
from psyle import pronunciationTools
|
||
|
||
searchWord = 'another'
|
||
anotherPhoneList = ['n', '@', 'th', 'r'] # Actually produced
|
||
|
||
returnList = pronunciationTools.findBestSyllabification(isleDict,
|
||
searchWord,
|
||
anotherPhoneList)
|
||
print syllableList
|
||
>> [["''"], ['n', '@'], ['th', 'r']]
|
||
|
||
|
||
Please see \\examples for example usage

Citing pysle
|
||
===============
|
||
|
||
Pysle is general purpose coding and doesn't need to be cited
|
||
(you should cite the

`ISLEX project <http://www.isle.illinois.edu/sst/data/dict/islex/index.shtml>`_
|
||
instead) but if you would like to, it can be cited like so:
