ARPAbet

The ARPAbet gem allows you to convert notations from ARPAbet to International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA).

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem "arpabet"

and run bundle.

In Ruby then write:

require "arpabet"

Or install the gem by running:

gem install arpabet

Usage

  example = "SIL_S EH0_B L_E EH0_B S_I K_I IY1_E SIL_S"
  arpa = Arpabet::Parser.new(example)
  puts arpa.to_ipa
  puts arpa.to_unicode

You can fire up pry to try the above, or try the command line tool arparse, like so:

bundle exec exe/arparse -a SIL_S EH0_B L_E EH0_B S_I K_I IY1_E SIL_S

For more help on how to use the command line tool run: bundle exec exe/arparse --help
