Tailor Pronunciations for Maximum Clarity

Chant LexiconKit

No matter how you slice it, a tomato is just a tomato. However, your end users—customers and clients—may be partial to their kind of tomato. Your applications need to accommodate and adjust to their manner of speaking when recognizing and synthesizing.

A lexicon is a collection of word pronunciations that a speech recognition engine (i.e., recognizer) uses to improve recognition accuracy and a speech synthesis engine (i.e., synthesizer) uses to enhance its word pronunciation.

What is Lexicon Management?

Lexicon management enables you to administer the functions necessary to create, delete, edit, import, and export lexicons as part of your deployed application.

What is LexiconKit?

Chant LexiconKit is comprised of application ready software components that handle the complexities of managing lexicons and persisting them in files for deployment and installation.

The LexiconKit component library includes a lexicon management class that provides you a simple way to create, edit, export, and import lexicon word pronunciations. Your application can edit lexicons as part of its runtime operation to enable real-time customization and tailoring of your speech recognition and speech synthesis environment.

It simplifies the process of managing word pronunciations for Cepstral Swift API, Microsoft SAPI 4, Microsoft SAPI 5, and Nuance Vocalizer and VoCon API lexicon formats to use with your favorite speech recognizers and synthesizers.

LexiconKit includes ActiveX, C++, C++Builder, Delphi, Java, .NET Framework, Silverlight, and Web component library formats to support all your programming languages and provides sample projects for popular IDEs—such as the latest Visual Studio 2010 from Microsoft.

The component libraries can be integrated with 32-bit, 64-bit, and mobile applications.
