The American IPA output

[JohnHerry]

Thanks for the good job, But it seems that the IPA from flite are tone of UK, is there any solution for American type of IPA transcription?

Presently, only Standard American English is supported (since we do not have a good open source pronouncing dictionary for RP and this would be necessary for training a redistributable model for G2P.

Thanks for the quick reply, And I have another question. there seems no stress syllable in the output IPA. the stress symbol should be an important part in the TTS input phonemes. is there any plan to support it?

Consider the CMU Pronouncing Dictionary.

Thank you for the help. But can the dict based g2p distinguish polyphonic words?

CMU Pronouncing Dictionary lists multiple pronunciations in a few cases but unfortunately, not for most words (iirc)

@kalvinchang Thanks, Do you have any better resolution? We had tried to use espeak-ng, but it is hard to compile on my Centos7 system.
