KeyError when trying to transcribe any text

Traceback (most recent call last):

Source:

from epitran import Epitran
tr = Epitran('eng-Latn', cedict_file='cedict_1_0_ts_utf-8_mdbg.txt')
tr.transliterate('test')

Note: Changing 'test' to u'test' does not help.

I also encountered the same problem

I am not able to replicate this bug. @WhiteFu and @COOLIRON2311, were you both running on Windows? What is the output of the following command on your systems:

lex_lookup 'test'

[dmort27]

I discovered the source of the problem: Windows line endings. I have pushed a change to GitHub which I think may resolve the problem (no release on PyPI yet). Please let me know if it works.

Sorry for the late reply, tz difference.
There is no output from this command on my system because i don't have this utility installed.
Does it has to be installed from pip, or from (linux) repo? If the second, than it is bad for Windows users. Bthw, I tried epitran on my Mac, it gives me the same error.

[dmort27]

As is detailed in the README, English support in Epitran doesn't work without lex_lookup installed (from flite). You have to compile it from source. Please install lex_lookup and then let me know whether you still get the same error.

[COOLIRON2311]

There is no 'lex_lookup' target in flite Makefile. At least cygwin is unable to make it.
The same problem is described in #5

[dmort27]

From where did you download flite?

Try installing from the GitHub repo: https://github.com/festvox/flite

I have installed before on Cygwin, but I do not currently have access to a Windows machine, so I cannot test the current version of flite and lex_lookup.

[dmort27]

I should have access to a windows machine soon. I'll try to get everything working on Cygwin and let you know what I find out.

[dmort27]

I'm experiencing the same problem under Cygwin.
