Cepstral Voices and PLS Access

[Percy]

Greetings

How do I get a Cepstral Voice to access a Pronunciation Lexicon Specification (PLS) Dictionary.

Hi Percy,

We are actually in the process of reevaluating our SSML compatibility. As it stands right now, Cepstral voices are not compatible with the lexicon SSML tag, so specifying a PLS dictionary would not be possible. The only option would be to edit your lexicon.txt or to pass a lexicon to swift with the -l parameter. In both cases, the lexicon would need to be formatted according to Cepstral's lexicon specifications (http://www.cepstral.com/en/tutorials/view/lexicon). Our SSML compatibility will likely expand in the near future, so we will keep you posted if there are any new developments.

Nichole,
