Who should use this information

This information is for developers or system administrators who want to develop or maintain Blueworx Voice Response for AIX solutions that use text-to-speech.

System administrators should be familiar with:

To install MRCP for state tables, some experience with the AIX operating system and its system management interface tool (SMIT) would be useful. No particular knowledge is necessary for configuration, other than the ability to use a text editor.

To develop applications, familiarity with creating state tables for Blueworx Voice Response applications is an advantage. If you have not worked with Blueworx Voice Response applications before, you should first read the introduction in the Blueworx Voice Response for AIX: General Information and Planning.

A basic knowledge of how text-to-speech (TTS) applications work, and how to create them would also be useful.
