In addition, user errors are inevitable during this process, and it is useful if automatic means can be used to assist in the search for such errors. We describe how the Default&Refine grapheme-to-phoneme rule extraction algorithm can be adapted to meet both of these goals. Experimental results demonstrate the utility of these methods.enBootstrapping techniquesElectronic pronunciation dictionariesPronunciation dictionariesInterspeech 2005Conference PresentationDavel, M., & Barnard, E.
