Cognitive Service - Speech Studio - Template with lexicon

Steinkrug, Michelle 71

Hi,

I have a question. Is it possible to create a template with a lexicon? Otherwise I need to select the lexicon file for each file separately.

Best regards,
Michelle

@Steinkrug, Michelle You can create a custom lexicon file and use the uri element in your SSML. For example, below uri is published before being used in the SSML below.

<speak version="1.0" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/10/synthesis"  
          xmlns:mstts="http://www.w3.org/2001/mstts"  
          xml:lang="en-US">  
    <voice name="en-US-JennyNeural">  
        <lexicon uri="http://www.example.com/customlexicon.xml"/>  
        BTW, we will be there probably at 8:00 tomorrow morning.  
        Could you help leave a message to Robert Benigni for me?  
    </voice>  
</speak>

Thanks for this hint and how can I save the speaker template with the lexicon file in it? So that I can reuse the template always with the same lexicon file.

Best

Are you referring to the voice to be used? I think the lexicon is mentioned inside the voice element. Please see the note on this page.

The lexicon element must be inside the voice element

Please excuse, but maybe there is a misunderstanding. I´m talking about the speaker template.

As soon as I have selected a speaker for a text and the speaking style, I can generate a speaker template and save it under a specific name. Now, I´m asking, if it is possible also to save a lexicon file in this specific speaker template.

Are talking about the selection of voice and its styles in the studio and using the same across different requests?
If yes, I think that is not possible to add it to the lexicon file. You could add a screen shot if you are referring to a different template or screen in the studio. Thanks!!
