Custom speaker training not working

The information in this article applies to:

• ProfileKit 5

Symptoms

Training speaker profiles with custom phrases or sentences does not work. The custom dialog appears but no phrase or dictation sentence is displayed. No TTS playback occurs.

Cause

The ChantProfile class StartTraining method set the speech engine API before invoking training which causes the ProfileKit runtime to instantiate a new speech engine API profile object losing all previously set properties.

The ChantProfile object should only set the speech engine API when instantiated so the same speech engine API profile object is used until the ChantProfile object is destroyed.

Status

Fixed in ProfileKit 5 build 5.1.0.1.
