Abstract
Although the research community pays little attention to (Inverse) Text Normalization (TN and ITN), this is an essential module in Text-to-Speech (TTS) and Speech Recognition (SR) systems: it has a significant development timeline and requires deep linguistic expertise [1-3]. We present a framework that can deal simultaneously with TN and ITN, which was applied to twelve different languages. The rules were tested and subsequently refined. The overall performance of the system is presented and discussed. Here we focus on the ambiguity resolution implemented in three languages (Dutch, English, French, Italian) in the normalization of web-search-specific terms and mobile text messages.
