DeppSpeech output punctuation

I noticed the output of Deep Speech does not contain any punctuation. Any suggestion on how to correct the punctuation accurately.

Yeah it can’t ‘hear’ the punctuation - or at least it is common in ASR systems to not attempt to ‘hear’ the punctuation , but its not uncommon to run it through a post processing RNN to guess the pronunciation.

thanks for your reply. can you give some github repo for punctuation that works fine.

I guess the one you suggested is a good starting point, we use a proprietary solution for German that is more old school and not neural net based. So have you tried this one?

Based on some experiment I did last year, if you keep punctuation in the training dataset you can get nice results. It would require much more work to confirm, though.
