| You can make changes and then re-compile them to produce the "_dict" | |||
| file in the espeak-data data directory (eg. "en_dict") which the | |||
| speak program used. | |||
| Use: | |||
| speak --compile=<voicename> | |||
| to compile the data for a particular language. It automatically replaces | |||
| the corresponding _dict file in espeak-data, ready for use by the | |||
| speak program. | |||
| An "_extra" file, (eg. en_extra) can be used to in addition to the "_list" file | |||
| to add exception words without disturbing the official "_list" file. | |||
| It is treated as an extension of the "_list" file. | |||
| Language Notes: | |||
| Russian. An additional dictionary of Russian words and their stress positions | |||
| is available at http://espeak.sourceforge.net/data/russian_data.zip. | |||
| This allows eSpeak to put the stress on the correct syllable of Russian words. | |||
