[mary-users] Question About Mary TTS

Thu Aug 16 15:43:39 CEST 2012

Dear Marcela,
Thanks for your support, I also want to use MARYXML input on the
MaryInterface, but I did what you told Amir to do and I got the following
error:

:marytts/user-examples/example-remote/target$ java -jar
> example-remote-5.1-SNAPSHOT.jar localhost 59125
> Mary TTS client 5.1-SNAPSHOT (impl. unknown)

My input on the MaryTTSRemote.java is:

String dataString="<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\" ?>" + "<maryxml
> version=\"0.4\"xmlns:xsi=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance\"

> am talking with rising intonation. " + "</prosody> </p> </maryxml>";

Am I doing anything wrong?
Thanks in advance.
