Phonemizer¶
The phonemizer allows simple phonemisation of words and texts in many languages. It is based on four backends: espeak, espeak-mbrola, festival and segments.
Phonemizer is available as an Apptainer container on Apocrita.
Usage¶
Calling python after loading the phonemize module will invoke the
installed version of Python inside the container.
To run the default installed version of phonemizer, simply load the
phonemize module:
$ module load phonemize
$ phonemize --version
phonemizer-VERSION
available backends: espeak-ng, espeak-mbrola, festival, segments
For full usage documentation, run phonemize --help.
