Class KASRAlternativePronunciation

java.lang.Object
com.keenresearch.keenasr.KASRAlternativePronunciation
public class KASRAlternativePronunciation extends Object
KASRAlternativePronunciation provides way to specify alternative pronunciations for words that may not be in the lexicon from the ASR Bundle. You will typically use this class to define pronunciations in following scenarios: 1) word is not in the lexicon and you want to provide predefined pronunciation and not rely on automatic grapheme-to-phoneme module to define one; 2) word might be in lexicon but you would like to provide additional pronunciations (e.g. in some command and control scenarios you could define common mispronunciations of the word; 3) similar to 1) you could also use it to define pronunciation for made-up-words (for example in educational applications focused on reading).
