1ReadME for the XSAMPA Pico TTS tests 2 3The following files contain a series of utterances to test the Pico TTS engine with regards to 4the 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 13They implement the examples given in section A.4 of the SVOX Pico Manual ("SVOX Pico - Speech Output 14Engine SDK"). 15They are formatted as utterances that can be sent to the Pico engine through the Android 1.6 API. 16This is achieved by using the TextToSpeech.speak() method of the android.speech.tts package. 17The 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. 20The application found in external/svox/pico/tests/apps/SpeechTester lets you load those files and 21run the test, i.e. play all valid test lines in the test file. Copy the test files to the 22Android-powered device, and enter the file name that contains the test to run, and click "Run test". 23 24
