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,

Method Detail

getPostLexicalAnalyzer

protected UtteranceProcessor getPostLexicalAnalyzer()
                                             throws java.io.IOException

The FestVox voice does not take advantage of any post lexical processing. As a result, it doesn't end up getting certain units that are expected by the typical post lexical processing. For example, if "the" is followed by a word that begins with a vowel, the typical post lexical processing will change its pronunciation from "dh ax" to "dh iy". We don't want this in this voice.

Overrides:

getPostLexicalAnalyzer in class CMUVoice

Returns:

the post lexical analyzer in use by this voice

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 CMUClusterUnitVoice

Returns:

a string representation of this object
