Constructor Detail

CMUDiphoneVoice

public CMUDiphoneVoice()

Creates a simple voice. This is merely for backwards compatibility with versions of FreeTTS earlier than v1.2 (i.e., before the voice manager was introduced).

CMUDiphoneVoice

public CMUDiphoneVoice(java.lang.String name,
                       Gender gender,
                       Age age,
                       java.lang.String description,
                       java.util.Locale locale,
                       java.lang.String domain,
                       java.lang.String organization,
                       CMULexicon lexicon,
                       java.net.URL database)

Creates a simple voice

Parameters:

name - the name of the voice

gender - the gender of the voice

age - the age of the voice

description - a human-readable string providing a description that can be displayed for the users.

locale - the locale of the voice

domain - the domain of this voice. For example,

organization - the organization which created the voice "general", "time", or "weather".

lexicon - the lexicon to load

database - a url to the unit database file for this voice

Method Detail

getDatabase

public java.net.URL getDatabase()

Gets the url to the database that defines the unit data for this voice.

Specified by:

getDatabase in interface de.dfki.lt.freetts.ConcatenativeVoice

Returns:

a url to the database

setupFeatureSet

protected void setupFeatureSet()
                        throws java.io.IOException

Sets the FeatureSet for this Voice.

Overrides:

setupFeatureSet in class CMUVoice

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if an I/O error occurs

getPostLexicalAnalyzer

protected UtteranceProcessor getPostLexicalAnalyzer()
                                             throws java.io.IOException

Returns the post lexical processor to be used by this voice. Derived voices typically override this to customize behaviors.

Overrides:

getPostLexicalAnalyzer in class CMUVoice

Returns:

the Unit selector

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if an IO error occurs while getting processor

getPitchmarkGenerator

public UtteranceProcessor getPitchmarkGenerator()
                                         throws java.io.IOException

Returns the pitch mark generator to be used by this voice. Derived voices typically override this to customize behaviors. This voice uses a DiphonePitchMark generator to generate pitchmarks.

Specified by:

getPitchmarkGenerator in interface de.dfki.lt.freetts.ConcatenativeVoice

Overrides:

getPitchmarkGenerator in class CMUVoice

Returns:

the pitchmark processor

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if an IO error occurs while getting processor

getUnitConcatenator

public UtteranceProcessor getUnitConcatenator()
                                       throws java.io.IOException

Returns the unit concatenator to be used by this voice. Derived voices typically override this to customize behaviors. This voice uses a relp.UnitConcatenator to concatenate units.

Specified by:

getUnitConcatenator in interface de.dfki.lt.freetts.ConcatenativeVoice

Overrides:

getUnitConcatenator in class CMUVoice

Returns:

the unit concatenator processor

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if an IO error occurs while getting processor

getUnitSelector

public UtteranceProcessor getUnitSelector()
                                   throws java.io.IOException

Returns the unit selector to be used by this voice. Derived voices typically override this to customize behaviors. This voice uses the DiphoneUnitSelector to select units. The unit selector requires the name of a diphone database. If no diphone database has been specified then an Error is thrown.

Specified by:

getUnitSelector in interface de.dfki.lt.freetts.ConcatenativeVoice

Overrides:

getUnitSelector in class CMUVoice

Returns:

the unit selector processor

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if an IO error occurs while getting processor

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Converts this object to a string

Overrides:

toString in class CMUVoice

Returns:

a string representation of this object
