| Description: | Lextools is a package of tools for creating weighted finite-state transducers (WFST) from high-level linguistic descriptions. These descriptions include: strings, regular expressions, and lists of these; context-free and context-dependent rewrite rules; and various more specialized tools (e.g. a specialized tool for building grammars of the mapping between digit strings and the number-names for those strings). A version of lextools was used, for instance, to build text analyzers for the Bell Labs multilingual tts system (http://www.bell-labs.com/project/tts/). Lextools binaries are available free for non-commercial use at: http://www.research.att.com/sw/tools/lextools/ Supported platforms are: linux (i686), sgi (mips2) and sun4. Lextools is built on top of, and requires, the AT&T WFST toolkit (version 3.6), available free for non-commercial use from: http://www.research.att.com/sw/tools/fsm/ - Richard Sproat Human/Computer Interaction Research rws@research.att.com AT&T Labs -- Research, Shannon Laboratory Tel: +1-973-360-8490 180 Park Avenue, Room B207, P.O.Box 971 Fax: +1-973-360-8809 Florham Park, NJ 07932-0000 - -------------http://www.research.att.com/~rws/ --------------- |
