You select sounds for a word from a standard list of English phonemes (speech sounds), and the pronunciation is stored in the SAPI Lexicon, a database for the words and their pronunciations. You can test the pronunciation as you work in the Lexicon Editor.</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Tip:<br /></b>For words that are part of standard messages, you may find that editing the word with the Polaris Language Editor is a simpler way to adjust pronunciation. Find the word and spell it in a way that most closely resembles how you want it to be pronounced. See <a href="Edit_a_SAPI_voice_message_with_Polaris_Language_Editor.htm">Edit a SAPI Voice Message with Polaris Language Editor</a>.</p>
<p>The TTS Lexicon Editor is included in the Polaris telephony server installation. However, because each user log-on has its own Lexicon database, and because the workstation needs a sound card to test pronunciation adjustments, you cannot use Remote Desktop to connect to the telephony server and work with the Lexicon Editor there. You must log on locally to a workstation with a sound card and speakers to test the pronunciation, then use Remote Desktop to connect to the telephony server and copy your changes. For the most accurate test, the workstation should have available the SAPI voice actually used in the message. To make this process more convenient, you can now select the TTS Lexicon Editor as part of the staff client installation, then install the appropriate AT&amp;T SAPI voice on the workstation.</p>

<p><a name="kanchor3270"></a><a name="IX_edit_the_voice_message"></a><a name="kanchor3271"></a><a name="IX_See_telephone_1"></a>The following steps summarize how to edit a SAPI voice message for inbound or outbound telephony. For more information about using the Language Editor, click the <b>Help</b>&#160;tab in the Language Editor. </p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:<br /></b>You need the Polaris permission <b>WebAdmin access: Allow</b>&#160;to use the Language Editor. </p>
<ol>
<li value="1">Open your Web browser and navigate to the Language Editor site on your server.</li>
</ol>
<p class="indent2">The Log On page opens.</p>
<ol data-mc-continue="true">
<li value="2">Type your name, password, and domain name, and click <b>OK</b>.</li>
</ol>
<p class="indent2">The Language Editor opens and the Edit page is displayed.</p>
<ol data-mc-continue="true">
<li value="3">In the <b>Product</b>&#160;box, select <b>Inbound Telephony </b>or <b>Outbound Telephony</b>&#160;as appropriate.</li>
<li value="4">Select the organization for which you are making the modification.</li>
</ol>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:<br /></b>For outbound telephony where there are multiple telephony servers, one organizations set of messages must be specified for use by each server. See <a href="../PTOutboundTel/Set_general_telephone_notification_parameters.htm">Set General Telephone Notification Parameters</a>.</p>
<p class="NoteShade">For inbound telephony, if each phone line is associated with a different organization, and each organization offers different options and custom messages such as announcements, each organization has its own messages and associated .wav files. The path and URL for each organizations files are specified in the configuration utility. See <a href="../PTInboundTel/Set_Phone_Attendant_options_for_specific_lines.htm">Set Phone Attendant Options for Specific Lines</a>.</p>
<ol data-mc-continue="true">
<li value="5">Select languages to compare and edit in the <b>Language 1</b>&#160;and <b>Language 2</b> boxes.</li>
</ol>
<p class="indent2">Only languages that are licensed are available for selection. Select two languages (for example, English and Spanish) to compare the equivalent message strings side-by-side. If you want to edit only one language, for example English, set both languages to <b>English - United States</b>.</p>
<ol data-mc-continue="true">
<li value="6">(Optional) To limit the language strings that will be displayed, select one of the following options:<ul type="disc"><li><b>Specific string ID</b>&#160;- Each language string is identified by a unique identification code. If you want to display a specific language string and you know the code, enter it here.</li><li><b>String contains</b>&#160;- You can display language strings that contain specific text.

<h1><a name="XREF_58886_Editing_Natural"></a>Editing Messages and Prompts</h1>
<p><a name="kanchor2770"></a><a name="IX_messages_overview"></a>You can alter the text of the SAPI messages and prompts with Polaris Language Editor. (WebAdmin). This Web-based tool allows you to customize English and other licensed language strings in all the parts of Polaris that support multiple languages, including outbound and inbound telephony. See <a href="Edit_a_SAPI_voice_message_with_Polaris_Language_Editor.htm">Edit a SAPI Voice Message with Polaris Language Editor</a>.</p>
<p> The system then converts the edited telephony message text to speech, using the voice you specified when you configured outbound telephony or the Phone Attendant. (The portions of the messages and prompts that use specific circulation and request data in the database cannot be altered.) </p>
<p>See also:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="../PTOutboundTel/Set_SAPI_voice_parameters_for_outbound_telephony.htm#XREF_37013_Set_SAPI_voice">Set SAPI Voice Parameters for Outbound Telephony</a>.
</li>

<h2><a name="TOC_Text_to_Speech_Conversion"></a><a name="XREF_28769_Text_to_Speech"></a>Text-to-Speech Conversion</h2>
<p><a name="kanchor2771"></a><a name="IX_text_file_conversion"></a>The default messages contain the text of the natural speech messages and prompts. When the service is run for the first time, or when the service is restarted, the message text is converted to audible speech and stored in .wav files, one .wav file per message. Each message is identified by name in the Polaris Language Editor. For example, the greeting message for the Polaris Phone Attendant is called <b>PA_TEXT_GREETING</b>. The illustration shows a portion of the Language Editor with inbound telephony messages displayed.</p>
<p class="indent2">
<img alt="TextGreetingMsg.gif" style="margin-bottom: 0.000pt;width: auto;height: auto;" id="image0" src="../../../Resources/Images/TextGreetingMsg_boxcrop.png" />&#160;</p>
<p style="page-break-before: always;">The converted .wav file for this message is named <b>1033_PA_TEXT_GREETING.wav. </b>The <b>1033</b>&#160;portion of the file name identifies the language of the file. Each supported language is identified by an identification code as follows:</p>
<ul type="disc">
<li>
<p>English - 1033</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Korean - 1042</p>
</li>
<li>Polish - 1045</li>
<li>
<p>Russian - 1049</p>
</li>
<li>Farsi - 1065</li>
<li>
<p>Vietnamese - 1066</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Hindi - 1081</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Hawaiian - 1141</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Chinese - 2052</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>Spanish - 3082</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>French - 3084 (outbound telephony only)</p>
</li>
<li>Arabic - 12289</li>
<li>
<p>Haitian Creole - 15372</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p>When you edit a message, you must delete the associated .wav file for the message before you restart the outbound telephony or Phone Attendant service (see <a href="Edit_a_SAPI_voice_message_with_Polaris_Language_Editor.htm">Edit a SAPI Voice Message with Polaris Language Editor</a>). </p>
<p style="page-break-before: always;">The edited message is converted to a new .wav file when the service restarts.</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Note:<br /></b>For outbound telephony where there are multiple telephony servers, one organizations set of messages must be specified for use by each server. See <a href="../PTOutboundTel/Set_general_telephone_notification_parameters.htm">Set General Telephone Notification Parameters</a>.<br />For inbound telephony, if each phone line is associated with a different organization, and each organization offers different options and custom messages such as announcements, each organization has its own messages and associated .wav files. The path and URL for each organizations files are specified in the configuration utility. See <a href="../PTInboundTel/Set_Phone_Attendant_options_for_specific_lines.htm">Set Phone Attendant Options for Specific Lines</a>.</p>
<h2><a name="TOC_Phone_Attendant_Inbound"></a><a name="XREF_71715_Phone_Attendant"></a>Phone Attendant (Inbound Telephony) Menu Options</h2>
<p><a name="kanchor2772"></a><a name="IX_editing_menu_options"></a>The Phone Attendant offers patrons various options as menu choices. If you disable an option, the message file still offers the menu choice. When a caller selects the menu choice, the Phone Attendant states (by default) that the library has disabled the feature. If you want to change this message, you can edit the message file and remove the menu text. However, the menu option <span class="FM_Emphasis">number</span>&#160;always remains the same.</p>
<p>For example, if you choose to not offer patrons the ability to renew an item by typing a barcode number, and you do not edit the message associated with this menu option, the Phone Attendant responds, “I'm sorry, this option has been disabled” (<b>PA_TEXT_OPTIONDISABLED</b>). If you prefer that patrons do not hear the menu choice for the disabled option, you can remove the text string <b>To renew a specific item, press 3</b>&#160;from the list of options (<b>PA_MENU_PATRONMAIN</b>).</p>
<p>The numbers for the other menu options do not change, so the menu offerings will skip the <b>press 3</b>&#160;option, going from the <b>press 2</b>&#160;option (list items out) to the <b>press 4</b> option (list of overdue items).</p>
<p class="NoteShade"><b>Important:<br /></b>Do not edit the menu numbers. </p>
