[Corpora-List] Algorithm for orthography to IPA conversion in German

Greetings.

 

Here's one useful sounding publication that may lead to additional useful
resources:

I don't know of any algorithm, but you should be able to write one without
much trouble, german spelling is quite exact. There are many books with the
rules for making phonetic transcripts in German, you could take a look at:
Pompino-Marschall, Bernd. 1995. Einführung in die Phonetik. Berlin etc.: de
Gruyter.

Algorithm for orthography to IPA conversion in German


Sorry, my mail reader truncated the header and dropped the end part with "in
German".

Dear all,

I am looking for an algorithm / a tool / a set of rules which can help
me to automatically derive an IPA transcription for an orthographic
word (i.e. no lexicon lookup). Can anybody help (I'll post a summary)?


What language is this for?
Some languages are going to be pretty hard, such as Chinese (also, the
same character can have very different pronunciations depending on the
dialect used) or English.
As I remember it, an example for English is "read",
which can either be pronounced like "red" (like when "read" is a past
tense verb)
or like "reed" (like when "read" is a present tense verb).
