[mary-users] Developer Question

[Ingmar Steiner]

Dear Norm,

I'm not sure what your translation.sh script does, or why it needs to 
run the TranscriptionGUI, but obviously it makes no sense to run a GUI 
headless.

On the other hand, the MaryTTS server is designed specifically to be 
able to run on a remote machine. Several years ago, there were some 
issues with HeadlessExceptions (see http://mary.opendfki.de/ticket/357), 
but those should be long fixed. Please open a new issue at 
https://github.com/marytts/marytts/issues/new if you still have problems.

On a different angle, it would be great to wrap the MaryTTS server in a 
WAR or something, but AFAIA, this is still on the wishlist...

Best wishes,

-Ingmar
