Abstract
Solutions for on-device streaming inverse text normalization (ITN) include: receiving a stream of tokens, each token representing an element of human speech; tagging, by a tagger that can work in a streaming manner (e.g., a neural network), the stream of tokens with one or more tags of a plurality of tags to produce a tagged stream of tokens, each tag of the plurality of tags representing a different normalization category of a plurality of normalization categories; based on at least a first tag representing a first normalization category, converting, by a first language converter of a plurality of category-specific natural language converters (e.g., weighted finite state transducers, WFSTs), at least one token of the tagged stream of tokens, from a first lexical language form, to a first natural language form; and based on at least the first natural language form, outputting a natural language representation of the stream of tokens.
