Text Normalization With Language Specific Homophone Handling

via “text normalization with language-specific homophone handling”

A generative speech model for daily dialogue.

Unique: Implements language-specific normalization rules (separate for English and Chinese) rather than using a generic text preprocessor, enabling accurate handling of homophones and language conventions. The Normalizer is integrated into the Chat class and runs automatically before text refinement, ensuring consistent input to downstream models.

vs others: More language-aware than generic text preprocessing because it handles homophones and language-specific conventions explicitly. More lightweight than neural text normalization models because it uses rule-based approaches, enabling fast preprocessing without GPU overhead.
