Customizing TTS pronunciation with Scansoft� RealSpeak

With Scansoft RealSpeak, you can customize English and non-English language text-to-speech pronunciation by adding the following:

Run RSUDE.EXE by double-clicking it.

This file is located in the RealSpeak directory from the Avaya Modular Messaging base directory, for example:

C:\Program Files\Avaya Modular Messaging\Vserver\RealSpeak\RSUDE.EXE

Click File > Open.

In the Open file dialog box, Files of Type: field, use the drop-down list to select: Text Files (*.tdc, *.txt)

If necessary, navigate to the C:\Program Files\Avaya Modular Messaging\VServer\ RealSpeak directory, and then select the dictionary file for your system’s language.

At system installation, each dictionary file, except the US English file (which has one entry for “Avaya”), is empty. We have provided these files so you can simply modify the existing file for your system language. For the dictionary file name for your system’s language see the following table:


Language	Dictionary file name
Chinese (Mandarin, traditional)	RSUserDict_MandarinB5.txt
Chinese (Mandarin, simplified)	RSUserDict_MandarinGB.txt
Dutch	RSUserDict_Dutch.txt
French	RSUserDict_French.txt
German	RSUserDict_German.txt
Italian	RSUserDict_Italian.txt
Japanese	RSUserDict_Japanese.txt
Portuguese	RSUserDict_Portuguese.txt
Spanish	RSUserDict_Spanish.txt
U.S. English	RSUserDict_USEnglish.txt

Click Open.

Customize TTS pronunciation as required and add it to the dictionary file.

If you need help performing this step, see the RealSpeak documentation that came with your system.

When you are finished making your changes, click File > Save.

Repeat this procedure for all MASs in the voice mail domain.
