+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".

+# Notes: These tests use the XSAMPA examples given in the pico manual.
+#        The only differences between the manual and the test strings are:
+#        1/ replaced the primary stress character " (double quote) by its dec code &#34;
+#        2/ the XSAMPA "r\" is replaced by "r\\" (the backslash is escaped) otherwise pico says
+#           garbage or the [rrr] sound is pronounced "j" (as a french j)
