The “Text Input for TTS” area is where the text passed to the target’s TTS application
software is determined and the buttons used to start and stop TTS processing are located.

6.2.3.1
Text Input for TTS text box
The ‘Text Input for TTS’ text box is where the user-defined text is placed ready
for TTS processing. The input text can be pasted or typed in this area in any of
the four languages specified in the language selection box above.
6.2.3.2
Open File button and drop-box
The drop box located beside the ‘open file’ button contains a list of all of the
files with a .txt extension located in the same directory as the user interface
executable. This list is compiled on start-up.
The ‘open file’ button causes the text within the file currently selected in the
drop-box to be placed in the ‘text input for TTS’ text-box. This provides a
facility for reading text from a pre-created text file rather than typing it in
directly.
Should the user wish to add their own .txt files containing input text for the
TTS application to the file list, the .txt file should be saved in the same
directory as the user interface executable file.
A number of example files are supplied with the evaluation kit. The languages
of the files are indicated by the ending: “en” for English, “es” for Spanish, “de”
for German, and “fr” for French. The ending “dectalk” indicates that the file
requires the DECtalk(R) parser to be enabled as described in Section 6.2.1.3.
Headers in the example text files can be used to automatically set these
parameters in the GUI.
