NB Uttale - Norwegian pronunciation lexicon

NB Uttale is a pronunciation lexicon for Norwegian Bokmål made by the Norwegian Language Bank (Språkbanken). The lexicon consists of 785 000 words which are phonemically transcribed into five dialects, or dialect areas; East Norwegian, Southwest Norwegian, West Norwegian, Mid Norwegian (Trønder) and North Norwegian. It is mainly intended for the development of speech technology: ASR, forced alignment, grapheme-to-phoneme conversion, speech synthesis. The lexicon is based on the NST lexicon, a pronunciation lexicon from the late 90-ies, also available from Språkbanken. Dialect transcriptions were added by means of string replacements, and the lexicon was supplemented with 25 500 new words. The word forms in the lexicon are in Norwegian Bokmål.
