ara-pronunciation-tool

A python tool that converts Arabic diacritised text to a sequence of phonemes and create a pronunciation dictionary.

This code is based on https://github.com/nawarhalabi/Arabic-Phonetiser

Modifications mainly make the code in https://github.com/nawarhalabi/Arabic-Phonetiser compatible with python 3, and provide easy to use cmd tool to build the pronunciation dictionary.

The pronunciation is generated based on Buckwalter transliteration see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buckwalter_transliteration and http://www.qamus.org/transliteration.htm for more information
