A speech recognition system must include informations concerning the phonological variability of speech. Starting with limsi's deterministic grapheme-to-phoneme conversion program, GRAPHON, we have deve- loped a rule-based text-to-phoneme translator which takes into account phonological variations in French. Tests of this system, VARION.0, showed that too many variants were being generated. It therefore became essential to explore knowledge linguistic and extra-linguistic sources such as speech rate, lessen the number of possible variants at a given point
