How to set

Shown in precedence order (see Rules of parameter precedence):

Set in the session xml file for the application. Configure the <speechsynth> element located under <sessionparameters>, <speechserver>.

In Management Station, set on the Vocalizer service. (To set more than one value, use the pipe | symbol as a separator.) If not using Management Station, set in the Vocalizer configuration file (User-nvsxx.xml).

Use

Frequently used.

Used for tuning speech output.

If you have several ActivePrompt databases:

  • To enter several activeprompt_dbs values in Management Station, separate them with a pipe character (|). For example:
    http://myserver/apdb_rp_samantha_time.dat|http://myserver/apdb_rp_supercat2.dat
  • In a session.xml file, specify one <value> element for each ActivePrompt database:
    <speechsynth name=" ">
      <param name="activeprompt_dbs">
        <value>http://myserver/apdb_rp_samantha_time.dat</value>
        <value>http://myserver/apdb_rp_supercat2.dat</value>
        <value>http://myserver/apdb_rp_samantha_time.dat;application/x-vocalizer-activeprompt-db;mode=automatic</value>
        <value>http://myserver/apdb_rp_supercat2.dat;application/x-vocalizer-activeprompt-db;mode=automatic</value>
      </param>
    </speechsynth>

To change a database after loading it, save it with a new name and then load the new database. Do not modify a loaded ActivePrompt database without changing its name.
