1 ReadME for the XSAMPA Pico TTS tests 2 3 The following files contain a series of utterances to test the Pico TTS engine with regards to 4 the support of language-specific XSAMPA characters: 5 6 xsampa_pico_man_de-DE.txt 7 xsampa_pico_man_en-GB.txt 8 xsampa_pico_man_en-US.txt 9 xsampa_pico_man_es-ES.txt 10 xsampa_pico_man_fr-FR.txt 11 xsampa_pico_man_it-IT.txt 12 13 They implement the examples given in section A.4 of the SVOX Pico Manual ("SVOX Pico - Speech Output 14 Engine SDK"). 15 They are formatted as utterances that can be sent to the Pico engine through the Android 1.6 API. 16 This is achieved by using the TextToSpeech.speak() method of the android.speech.tts package. 17 The test files adopt the following syntax: 18 - the lines used in the test are between the lines marked "BEGIN_TEST" and "END_TEST", 19 - lines that start with "#" are not spoken. 20 The application found in external/svox/pico/tests/apps/SpeechTester lets you load those files and 21 run the test, i.e. play all valid test lines in the test file. Copy the test files to the 22 Android-powered device, and enter the file name that contains the test to run, and click "Run test". 23 24
