Converting custom speech

Speech conversion to G.711 takes place after all the speech files are moved from the CONVERSANT platform and located on the Avaya IR platform. An automated speech conversion tool (do_speech) locates the speech files that were moved and partially converted during the migration phase, and completes the conversion to G.711 format. The tool determines the location of the speech files, using a log file placed on the Avaya IR system during the migration phase.

The speech conversion tool generates a report on converted files, and reports any errors.

To convert the speech files:

1. Transfer the do_speech utility, provided with the migration scanning tool, to the target Avaya IR system.
2. Run the command do_speech.

   The do_speech utility prompts for a directory where the speech files are located.

3. Enter the directory where the speech files are located.

   When it is finished running, the utility creates a log file in the current directory (for example, speechlog.06-19-02:133205).

   The log file contains data in the following format:

   TYPE: pcm64 File Name: /voice1/vfs/talkfiles/619/41 Bytes: 31304
TYPE: pcm64 File Name: /voice1/vfs/talkfiles/619/42 Bytes: 40512
TYPE: pcm64 File Name: /voice1/vfs/talkfiles/619/43 Bytes: 29760
TYPE: pcm64 File Name: /voice1/vfs/talkfiles/619/44 Bytes: 34368
TYPE: pcm64 File Name: /voice1/vfs/talkfiles/619/45 Bytes: 26184
TYPE: pcm64 File Name: /voice1/vfs/talkfiles/619/46 Bytes: 25672
TYPE: pcm64 File Name: /voice1/vfs/talkfiles/619/47 Bytes: 28232
TYPE: pcm64 File Name: /voice1/vfs/talkfiles/619/48 Bytes: 88168
TYPE: pcm64 File Name: /voice1/vfs/talkfiles/619/49 Bytes: 13368
Total Bytes Converted = 4192200

   Every converted file is reported and logged. The utility overwrites the legacy Conversant ADPCM files with Avaya IR G.711 format.

   Note:
   Non-speech files are generally ignored, but it is good practice to make sure that only custom legacy speech files are in the directory.
