Fine-tune Speech Synthesis Using Text-to-Speech Markup

Voice Markup Component Architecture

The VoiceMarkupKit component library includes a voice markup management class that provides you a simple way to generate text-to-speech markup. Your application can markup text as part of its runtime operation to enable real-time customization and tailoring of your text-to-speech environment.

The voice markup management class, ChantVM, enables you to specify a markup language, the markup options, and generate markup prior to synthesis. Your application uses the ChantVM class to manage the activities for generating the markup in the format you need. The ChantVM class supports the following markup syntax:

Nuance L&H Native Control Sequence,
Microsoft SAPI 4 control tags,
Microsoft SAPI 5 XML markup, and
W3C Speech Synthesis Markup Language (SSML).

VoiceMarkupKit Architecture for Markup Management

The ChantVM class encapsulates all of the technologies necessary to make the process of generating markup simple and efficient for your application.

You instantiate a ChantVM class object before you want to generate markup within your application. You destroy the ChantVM class object and release its resources when you no longer want the to generate markup within your application.
