| ReadME for the XSAMPA Pico TTS tests |
| |
| The following files contain a series of utterances to test the Pico TTS engine with regards to |
| the support of language-specific XSAMPA characters: |
| |
| xsampa_pico_man_de-DE.txt |
| xsampa_pico_man_en-GB.txt |
| xsampa_pico_man_en-US.txt |
| xsampa_pico_man_es-ES.txt |
| xsampa_pico_man_fr-FR.txt |
| xsampa_pico_man_it-IT.txt |
| |
| They implement the examples given in section A.4 of the SVOX Pico Manual ("SVOX Pico - Speech Output |
| Engine SDK"). |
| They are formatted as utterances that can be sent to the Pico engine through the Android 1.6 API. |
| This is achieved by using the TextToSpeech.speak() method of the android.speech.tts package. |
| The test files adopt the following syntax: |
| - the lines used in the test are between the lines marked "BEGIN_TEST" and "END_TEST", |
| - lines that start with "#" are not spoken. |
| The application found in external/svox/pico/tests/apps/SpeechTester lets you load those files and |
| run the test, i.e. play all valid test lines in the test file. Copy the test files to the |
| Android-powered device, and enter the file name that contains the test to run, and click "Run test". |
