[mary-dev] adding new NLPs to the system

Tue Jun 21 16:20:34 CEST 2011

OK, let's go slowly.

When you start the mary server with debug output enabled, e.g. as follows:

bin/maryserver -Dlog4j.logger.marytts=DEBUG,stderr
(writing to the console)

or as

bin/maryserver -Dlog4j.logger.marytts=DEBUG,logfile
(writing to log/server.log)

You should see lines such as:

2011-06-21 16:07:38,267 [main] DEBUG marytts.main fr.allophoneset = 
MARY_BASE/lib/modules/tr/lexicon/allophones.tr.xml
2011-06-21 16:07:38,267 [main] DEBUG marytts.main fr.lettertosound = 
MARY_BASE/lib/modules/tr/lexicon/tr.lts
2011-06-21 16:07:38,267 [main] DEBUG marytts.main fr.lexicon = 
MARY_BASE/lib/modules/tr/lexicon/tr_lexicon.fst
2011-06-21 16:07:38,267 [main] DEBUG marytts.main fr.version = 4.3.0

which confirm that the fr.config is actually being loaded.

Then you will see lines such as:

2011-06-21 16:07:38,830 [main] INFO  marytts.ModuleRegistry Now 
initiating mary module 'marytts.modules.JPhonemiser(fr.)'

which confirms that the class is being loaded.

In this setup though, where you use the Turkish allophone set for the 
"fr.allophoneset" property, the locale derived from the file will be 
Turkish, not French, and so you will find later:

2011-06-21 16:07:46,472 [main] INFO  marytts.JPhonemiser Module started 
(PARTSOFSPEECH->PHONEMES, locale tr).
2011-06-21 16:07:46,472 [main] INFO  marytts.JPhonemiser Starting 
power-on self test.
2011-06-21 16:07:46,473 [main] DEBUG marytts.JPhonemiser No example text 
-- no power-on self test!
2011-06-21 16:07:46,473 [main] INFO  marytts.JPhonemiser Power-on self 
test complete.

The point here is that for French PARTSOFSPEECH->PHONEMES conversion 
(which is the only thing you can hope to do with just this module) this 
will not work since you in fact instantiated a Turkish component.

Regards,
Marc
