Ona approach to thw transcription of sentten fext nto phonetic hues of sounds i to use a Set of wall defined Context and language- dependent les. The process of Wansenbing text into Sounds [tarts by preprocessing the text and reprasantng t by lexical ame to ch the ulas re applicable, The ras can be segregated into ‘Phoneme and phonetic nse. Phonemic rules operate tn graphemas to convert them into phonemes. Phonetic rules operate on proncmes [nd convert tham into contest-dependent phonetic enives with actual sounds. Canwerting from wntten text into actual sound Geveloping 2 conprenensive set of rules, and transforming the ues into implementable algorithms for any language cause Seversl Dreblams that have thelr ongins in the relative lack of cortespendence between the speling of the lesical tems and thelr sound contents. For Standard Malay (Si) these prabieme ara not ae savere as those for languages of complex speling systems, such as Engish and French, but they do ext. In ths paper, developing a comprehsnaive computerized aystem for processing SM text and tanaeriang it into phonetic entities and evaluating the performance of this system, irrespective of the application, s discussed. In particular, the folowing ISsues are dealt with inthis paper: (1) the speling and other plans of SM writing and tai impact on converting graphemes into Phonan, (2) the development of a conprefensiva set of graphare-to-phoneme rues for SM, (3) a dascnpten ofthe phonetic Varationa of 2M erhow the phonmes of 2M vary in context and the development of 2 zat at haneme-to-pronetic wanacrpton rue, () the formulation of the phonemic and phonetic rules into algorithms that are applicable to the computer-based processing of Input SM tect and (5) the evaluation of the performance of the process of convartng SM text into actual sounds by the above mentoned maths Powood by THE ACM GUIDE TO COMPUTING LITERATURE ‘The ACM Digital Library is published by the Assocation for Computing Machinery.
