Using Prompt Files
November 2009 60
Using the mkprompt Utility
The mkprompt utility converts multiple infopkt files into a
Brooktrout prompt file and updates an existing Brooktrout prompt
file by adding new phrases or modifying existing phrases.
When you create a Brooktrout prompt file, the mkprompt utility
automatically assigns each infopkt file a phrase number,
sequentially, in the order that you enter each file name at the
command line. The mkprompt utility always assigns the phrase
number 0 to the first infopkt file you enter.
When you update a Brooktrout prompt file, you assign a phrase
number to each infopkt file you are adding to the existing Brooktrout
prompt file.
Since the mkprompt utility cannot return phrase numbers of
individual prompt files in a Brooktrout prompt file, be sure to keep
your own record. You might need this information when you update
your prompt file.
Both the mkprompt utility and the Bfv API permit you to include the
text of each phrase in the Brooktrout prompt file. Create an infopkt
file for each phrase in which the first infopkt in the file contains the
text annotation and the remaining infopkts contain the speech that
make up the phrase. The mkprompt utility treats the whole file as a
phrase infopkt, and the BfvPromptPlay function skips over the
annotated text.
Creating a New Prompt File
To create a new Brooktrout prompt file, at the command line type:
mkprompt prompt_file [phrase1.pkt phrase2.pkt...]
Where:
The mkprompt utility automatically assigns phrase 0 to the file you
enter as phrase1.pkt and sequentially numbers any additional files
in the order that you enter them.
prompt_file
Specifies the name of the prompt file to create.
phrase1.pkt,
phrase2.pkt, ...
Provides the names of the infopkt-formatted.
Prompts files in the order in which you enter
them at the command line.
