Abstract
There is presented a technique of transcribing Lithuanian text into phonemes for speech recognition. Text-phoneme transformation has been made by formal rules and the dictionary. Formal rules were designed to set the relationship between segments of the text and units of formalized speech sounds – phonemes, dictionary – to correct transcription and specify stress mark and position. Proposed the automatic transcription technique was tested by comparing its results with manually obtained ones. The experiment has shown that less than 6% of transcribed words have not matched.
