Abstract

Grapheme-to-phoneme (G2P) conversion techniques have been used in many fields, most notably speech synthesis (text-to-speech, TTS). Nowadays, the development of speech synthesis is facilitated with the continuous improvement of G2P conversion techniques. The purpose of the paper is to provide an review of grapheme-to-phoneme conversion methods. First, the grapheme-to-phoneme conversion methods in recent years are sorted out; then the relevant data sets and evaluation metrics are listed, and finally the problems and development trends faced by grapheme-to-phoneme conversion are described.
