Library and CLI to modify pronunciation dictionaries (any language).

## Features

- `export-vocabulary`: export vocabulary from dictionaries
- `export-phonemes`: export phoneme set from dictionaries
- `merge`: merge dictionaries together
- `extract`: extract subset of dictionary vocabulary
- `map-symbols-in-pronunciations`: map phonemes/symbols in pronunciations to another phoneme/symbol, e.g., mapping ARPAbet to IPA
- `map-symbols-in-pronunciations-json`: map phonemes/symbols in pronunciations to phoneme/symbol specified in file
- `remove-symbols-from-vocabulary`: remove phonemes/symbols from vocabulary
- `remove-symbols-from-pronunciations`: remove phonemes/symbols from pronunciations
- `remove-symbols-from-words`: remove characters/symbols from words
- `change-formatting`: change formatting of dictionaries
- `select-single-pronunciation`: select single pronunciation
- `change-word-casing`: transform all words to upper- or lower-case
- `sort-words`: sort dictionary after words
- `sort-pronunciations`: sort dictionary pronunciations
- `normalize-weights`: normalize pronunciation weights for each word

## Roadmap

- Adding tests
- Implementation of printing of statistics
- Add change of pronunciation for a word via CLI

## Installation

```sh
pip install pronunciation-dictionary-utils --user
```

### Example

```sh
# Download CMU dictionary
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cmusphinx/cmudict/master/cmudict.dict \
  -O "/tmp/example.dict"

# Change formatting to remove numbers from words, comments and save as UTF-8
dict-cli change-formatting \
  "/tmp/example.dict" \
  --deserialization-encoding "ISO-8859-1" \
  --consider-numbers \
  --consider-pronunciation-comments \
  --serialization-encoding "UTF-8"

# Export phoneme set
dict-cli export-phonemes \
  "/tmp/example.dict" \
  "/tmp/example-phoneme-set.txt"
  
# Export vocabulary
dict-cli export-vocabulary \
  "/tmp/example.dict" \
  "/tmp/example-vocabulary.txt"

# Keep first pronunciation for each word and discard the rest
dict-cli select-single-pronunciation \
  "/tmp/example.dict" \
  --mode "first"

# Replace all "ER0" phonemes with "ER"
dict-cli map-symbols-in-pronunciations \
  "/tmp/example.dict" \
  "ER0" "ER"
```

### Development setup

```sh
# update
sudo apt update
# install Python 3.8-3.12 for ensuring that tests can be run
sudo apt install python3-pip \
  python3.8 python3.8-dev python3.8-distutils python3.8-venv \
  python3.9 python3.9-dev python3.9-distutils python3.9-venv \
  python3.10 python3.10-dev python3.10-distutils python3.10-venv \

  python3.12 python3.12-dev python3.12-distutils python3.12-venv
# install pipenv for creation of virtual environments
python3.8 -m pip install pipenv --user

# check out repo
git clone https://github.com/stefantaubert/pronunciation-dictionary-utils.git
cd pronunciation-dictionary-utils
# create virtual environment
python3.8 -m pipenv install --dev
```

## Running the tests

```sh
# first install the tool like in "Development setup"
# then, navigate into the directory of the repo (if not already done)
cd pronunciation-dictionary-utils
# activate environment
