# Kaamel-Dict: A Comprehensive Persian G2P Dictionary

![Hugging Face](https://img.shields.io/badge/Hugging%20Face-Dataset-orange)

Kaamel-Dict is the largest publicly available Persian grapheme-to-phoneme (G2P) dictionary, containing over 120,000 entries.
It was developed by unifying multiple phonetic representation systems from existing G2P tools
[[1](https://github.com/mohamad-hasan-sohan-ajini/G2P)]
[[2](https://github.com/AzamRabiee/Persian\_G2P)]
[[3](https://github.com/PasaOpasen/PersianG2P)]
[[4](https://arxiv.org/abs/2204.03067)]
and datasets

[[7](https://github.com/lotusfa/IPA-Translator)]
[[8](https://www.wiktionary.org/)]
[[9](https://www.peykaregan.ir/dataset/)]
and an additional online glossary

, called Jame` Dictionary, . This dictionary is released under the GNU license, allowing it to be used for 
 developing G2P models, Persian text-to-speech (TTS) systems, or linguistic research.
