Abstract Grapheme-to-Phoneme (G2P) conversion is a necessary step for speech synthesis
and speech recognition. In this paper, we attempt to apply a Statistical Machine Translation
(SMT) approach for Myanmar G2P conversion. The performance of G2P conversion with
SMT is measured in terms of BLEU score, syllable phoneme accuracy and processing time.
The experimental results show that G2P conversion with SMT is outperformed a Conditional
