KoG2P

Given an input of a series of Korean graphemes/letters (i.e. Hangul), KoG2P outputs the corresponding pronunciations.

한국어의 문자열로부터 발음열을 생성하는 파이썬 기반 G2P 패키지입니다.
터미널에서 원하는 문자열을 함께 입력해 사용할 수 있습니다.

How to use?

On terminal, you simply can type in your input within quotations:

$ python g2p.py '박물관'

Then you'll get /방물관/ symbolized as follows:

p0 aa ng mm uu ll k0 wa nf

NB. Your input does not necessarily need to be a lemma or a legitimate sequence of Korean; the system will provide an output based on the phonological rules of Korean for any sequences in Hangul.

Requirement

• Python 2.7 or 3.x
