From the Hugging Face model README
whisper-he-ipa
This model predicts IPA phonemes transcription from Hebrew speech.
It was fine-tuned from ivrit-ai/whisper-large-v3-turbo.
Output format
The model outputs ASCII Hebrew IPA, using ASCII-safe symbols instead of some IPA characters.
After normalization, the Hebrew IPA phoneme inventory is:
abdefhijklmnopstuvwzɡʁʃʒʔˈχ
Mapping from model output to normalized IPA:
ASCII_TO_IPA = {
"dZ": "dʒ",
"tS": "tʃ",
"S": "ʃ",
"Z": "ʒ",
"q": "ʔ",
"'": "ˈ",
"r": "ʁ",
"x": "χ",
"g": "ɡ",
}
Example:
Input: שלום עולם
Model output: Sal'om qol'am
Normalized IPA: ʃalˈom ʔolˈam
