Abstract
A confusability tool generates a confusability cost associated with two phonemic transcriptions. The confusability cost measures the likelihood that a human or machine hearing the first word will mistakenly hear the second word. The cost calculation is based on a weighting of the Levinstein distance between the transcription pair.
