Improved lexicon management

[msclrhd2]

A really nice feature would be to improve the way you edit a Lexicon file.

Specifically, provide a UI that allows you to:
1. Import an existing lexicon file
2. Save a lexicon file to all installed voices (possibly categorise by language, e.g. install to all Spanish voices)
3. Generate the phonemes for a word you enter
4. Provide a preview option to preview the words you are editing (this would save countess roundtripping to try and perfect pronunciation of words)

Note that point 2 would be nice to have in the voice engine itself: allow the voices to use a common lexicon.txt file from their language code, or be able to point a voice to a lexicon by a file path.

Also, have the ability to re-load a lexicon file while SwiftTalker is still loaded.

Sorry, but this was a great idea. Just wondering if this was done already. If not, I would like to offer to collaborate with other programmers and interested parties to see what can be done.

If it has been done, could you (or someone) point me and others to the solution?

Thank you for any responses.

I see that this community is rather un active in many threads. It is really too bad not more are participating. This is an idea that I have been really in need of. I hope someone does come by and give a clue if such a thing can be made for Cepstral voices Lexicons management. Such a good and complementary idea. Cheers!
