Abstract:
Converting system of phonetics transcriptions to
Myanmar text is intended to contribute as a portion of
speech to text system of Myanmar language. In
Myanmar language, the spoken language may be
different with the written language in many cases.
Phonetics transcriptions represent spoken language
and Myanmar text represents written language. This
paper proposed the phonetic string matching scheme
that aligned between the phonetics transcriptions and
the Myanmar text. Phonetics string matching is a
research area of information retrieval systems, search
systems, data mining, text and web-mining, speech
recognition, and pattern recognition systems. The
proposed system idea is come from the popular
phonetic string matching algorithm called Soundex.
The main difference between the proposed system and
the original Soundex algorithm is that the proposed
system is completely converted from text to phonetics
symbols and then encoded of that symbol to relevant
code points for accuracy.
