SPO vox : reading phonetic files

SPO vox can read phonetics files from the microSD card.

Store your vocabulary in a text file and use “.SPO” for the extension

The structure of the file has to respect the following :

A label, followed by the allophone list, each separated by the \ character

1: \WW \AX \AX \NN1
2: \TT2 \UW2
3: \TH \RR1 \IY
4: \FF \FF \OR
5: \FF \FF \AY \VV
6: \SS \SS \IH \IH \PA3 \KK2 \SS
7: \SS \SS \EH \EH \VV \IH \NN1
8: \EY \PA3 \TT2
Empty line

Check the manual for the list of the supported allophones

📌 don't forget to add an empty line at the end of the file.

I also uploaded a dictionary of 130.000 words in phonetic format to get you started.

As usual, Emy sends the label over serial communication on the USB port. Here is another example where TouchDesigner is receiving the labels :

: all it does is connect to Emy and display the text on the screen
