System and method for user-specified pronunciation of words for speech synthesis and recognition

摘要

The method is performed at an electronic device with one or more processors and memory storing one or more programs for execution by the one or more processors. A first speech input including at least one word is received. A first phonetic representation of the at least one word is determined, the first phonetic representation comprising a first set of phonemes selected from a speech recognition phonetic alphabet. The first set of phonemes is mapped to a second set of phonemes to generate a second phonetic representation, where the second set of phonemes is selected from a speech synthesis phonetic alphabet. The second phonetic representation is stored in association with a text string corresponding to the at least one word.

1. A method for learning word pronunciations, comprising:
at an electronic device with one or more processors and memory storing one or more programs for execution by the one or more processors: receiving a first speech input including at least one word; determining a first phonetic representation of the at least one word, the first phonetic representation comprising a first set of phonemes selected from a speech recognition phonetic alphabet; mapping the first set of phonemes to a second set of phonemes to generate a second phonetic representation, the second set of phonemes selected from a speech synthesis phonetic alphabet that is different from the speech recognition phonetic alphabet, wherein the speech recognition phonetic alphabet and the speech synthesis phonetic alphabet are phonetic alphabets of a same language; and storing the second phonetic representation in association with a text string corresponding to the at least one word.
