Using the Linguistic Information Sound Editing Tool

[Microsoft Agent is deprecated as of Windows 7, and may be unavailable in subsequent versions of Windows.]

The Linguistic Information Sound Editing Tool enables you to generate phoneme and word-break information for enhancing Windows sound (.wav) files to support high-quality lip-syncing character animation. The following sections describe how to use the tool.

• Installing the Sound Editor
• Starting the Sound Editor
• Creating a New Sound File
• Loading an Existing Sound File
• Generating Linguistic Information
• Saving a Sound File
• Command Reference
• Toolbar Buttons

You can use linguistically enhanced sound files generated with the sound editor to support lip-syncing Microsoft Agent character output. To do so, simply pass the file as a parameter to the Speak method. For further information, see Programming the Microsoft Agent Control or Programming the Microsoft Agent Server Interface.
