Grapheme

What is a grapheme?

A grapheme is the smallest unit of a writing system (a letter, a digit, or a letter cluster like "sh" or "th") roughly the written counterpart to a phoneme.

What is an example of grapheme in use?

In "cat," the graphemes are "c," "a," and "t." In "ship," the graphemes are "sh," "i," and "p". "sh" is a single grapheme representing a single phoneme /ʃ/.

How does ai-coustics use graphemes?

Graphemes belong to text processing, which sits downstream of the work we do. Our models operate at the signal level, delivering cleaner audio to the ASR systems that ultimately produce grapheme-level transcripts.
