phonemizer-2.0

ChangeLog

• incompatible change

  Starting with phonemizer-2.0 only python3 is supported. Compatibility with python2 is no more ensured nor tested. https://pythonclock.org.

• bugfixes

  • new --language-switch option to use with espeak backend to deals with language switching on phonemized output. In previous version there was a bug in detection of the language switching flags (sometimes removed, sometimes not). Now you can choose to keep the flags, to remove them, or to delete the whole utterance.

  • bugfix in a test with espeak>=1.49.3.

  • bugfix using NamedTemporaryFile on windows, see #21.

  • bugfix when calling festival or espeak subprocesses on Windows, see #17.

  • bugfix in detecting recent versions of espeak-ng, see #18.

  • bugfix when using utf8 input on espeak backend (python2), see #19.

• new features and improvements

  • new --sampa option to output phonemes in SAMPA alphabet instead of IPA, available for espeak-ng only.

  • new --with-stress option to use with espeak backend to not remove the stresses on phonemized output. For instance:

    $ echo "hello world" | phonemize
    həloʊ wɜːld
    $ echo "hello world" | phonemize --with-stress
    həlˈoʊ wˈɜːld
    

  • improved logging: by default only warnings are displayed, use the new --quiet option to inhibate all log messages or --verbose to see all of them. Log messages now display level name (debug/info/warning).

  • improved code organization:

    • backends are now implemented in the backend submodule as separated source files.

    • improved version string (displays uninstalled backends, moved outside of main for use from Python).

    • improved logger implemented in its own module so as a call to phonemizer from CLI or API yields the same log messages.

phonemizer-1.0

• incompabile changes

  The following changes break the compatibility with previous versions
  of phonemizer (0.X.Y):

  • command-line phonemize program: new --backend <espeak|festival|segments> option, default language is now
    espeak en-us (was festival en-us),

  • it is now illegal to have the same separator at different levels
    (for instance a space for both word and phone),

  • from Python, must import the phonemize function as from phonemizer.phonemize import phonemize, was from phonemizer import phonemize.

• New backend segments for
  phonemization based on grapheme-to-phoneme mappings.

• Major refactoring of the backends implementation and separators (as
  Python classes).

• Input to phonemizer now supports utf8.

• Better handling of errors (display of a meaningful message).

• Fixed a bug in fetching espeak version on macos, see
  #14.
