MbrolaVoiceDirectory
public abstract class VoiceDirectory extends java.lang.Object
Provides a means to access the voices that are stored in a jar file. Every jar file that provides a voice must contain a subclass of VoiceDirectory. The class must provide a main() function that calls dumpVoices() or performs an equivalent operation. All subclasses of VoiceDirectory can be assumed to always be created by the default constructor (no arguments). Any jar file that has a subclass of VoiceDirectory must define certain attributes in its Manifest. "Main-class:" must refer to the subclass of VoiceDirectory. "Class-Path:" lists the other jar files upon which this is dependent. For example, "cmu_us_kal.jar" may be dependent on "en_us.jar" for its lexicon. The Manifest must also have a "FreeTTSVoiceDefinition: true" entry.- See Also:
