Abstract: Systems and processes for generating a shared pronunciation lexicon and using the shared pronunciation lexicon to interpret spoken user inputs received by a virtual assistant are provided. In one example, the process can include receiving pronunciations for words or named entities from multiple users. The pronunciations can be tagged with context tags and stored in the shared pronunciation lexicon. The shared pronunciation lexicon can then be used to interpret a spoken user input received by a user device by determining a relevant subset of the shared pronunciation lexicon based on contextual information associated with the user device and performing speech-to-text conversion on the spoken user input using the determined subset of the shared pronunciation lexicon.
