Editing voice segments

You can edit both the description and the graphical representation of the voice segments that you create. Note that the minimum segment size for editing is 20 milliseconds. Use this procedure to edit voice segments in a selected voice directory.

1. To edit a voice segment: From the Welcome window, click on Applications —> Voice Segments.
2. Select voice segment to be edited: Select the language and voice directory that contain the voice segments you want to edit.
3. Open the segment you want to edit.

   The system displays the Voice Segment window, showing the selected segment.

4. Scaling: To change the size of the segment's graphical representation, click View to Zoom In, Zoom Out, Scale x2, or Scale x1/2.
5. Selecting all or part of the segment: To select all or a portion of the segment:
   • Drag the mouse over the portion
   • Or, click Edit —> Select All to select the entire segment.
6. To deselect the segment, click Edit —> Deselect All.
7. To delete part of the segment, drag the mouse over the portion you want to delete. Then, click Edit —> Delete.
8. Copying: To cut or copy part of another segment, Open the other (source) segment. Mark the information from the source segment by dragging the mouse over it. Click Edit to Cut or Copy, and Paste the information to a selected position in the destination segment.

   If you combine voice segments of a differing data format or sampling rate, Blueworx Voice Response displays a message to notify you that the formats differ and cancels the operation. Refer to Steps 10 and 11 for instructions about respecifying and converting the format of voice segments.

   If you combine voice segments of differing compression, Blueworx Voice Response automatically converts the resulting segment to compressed format. If you want the segment to be uncompressed, you can specify this requirement when you save the segment.

9. To cut or copy part of the same segment, drag the mouse over the information. Click Edit to Cut or Copy, and Paste the information to a selected position.
10. Respecifying the format: If you want to respecify the format for the imported audio data, use the Format Control window to modify the format settings, then select Display.
    Note: The Format Control window defines only how Blueworx Voice Response interprets the audio data; the physical format of the data itself is unchanged.

    The voice segment representation changes accordingly.

11. Converting the format : If you want to convert the actual format of the data, use the Format Control window to respecify format attributes, then click Convert.
12. Saving: To change any information you specified when you defined the segment (or to copy the current segment to a new segment), click Save As to change the voice directory, language, segment ID, or compression information for the voice segment.
13. When you have finished editing, Save the modified segment.
14. Close the Voice Segment window.
15. More? Repeat this procedure, starting with Step 3, for the next voice segment you want to edit.
