- The words which do not exist in the standard English dictionary are filtered from CMUdict.
generate-filtered-dict.js - From the filtered CMUdict entries, a reverse mapping (from one pronunciation to possibly multiple words) is generated.
generate-reverse-multimap.js - The raw English word frequency data file is parsed.
generate-frequency-map.js - The words with the same pronunciation but lower usage frequency are eliminated from the reverse mapping.
generate-reverse-map.js
- All possible syllable combinations are generated from the input Turkish word.
hyphenate-all.js - The letters in the syllables are written using the alternatives in CMUdict phonetic alphabet.
phonetic-map.json - The result is searched in the reverse mapping file.
reverse-map.json - If no match is found for a syllable, simple translations are applied to each letter.
letter-pronunciation-map.json - The results are sorted prioritizing:
- the ones with the most English word matches
- the one which fits the Turkish natural hyphenation
- The first 10 of the best results are returned.
