This repo contains scripts that can be used to create text intended for language models for ASR in Icelandic. In the file, src/unitconversion/sentences.py are modules that are used to define the sentence and state what inflections are expected for each word. The file src/unitconversion/units.py contains lists for each task where each word along with the inflection is stored. The main script loops through an input file containing numbers and generates sentences using each number with correct inflection.
Examples of sentences generated.
