Importing Compiled Prompt Databases (.prompts)

Speech Prompt Editor can import compiled transcriptions from a .prompts file to a .promptdb file. Importing compiled transcriptions facilitates sharing transcriptions with sound studios and other developers.

Not all of the information in a .promptdb file is included in the .prompts file, so importing a .prompts file cannot re-create the original .promptdb. Information imported to the Speech Prompt Editor from a compiled .prompts file is shown in the following list.

  • Transcription text
  • Post-compile .wav data
  • Word alignments
  • Extractions
  • Extraction information, such as Start Phoneme and End Phoneme
  • Extraction IDs
  • Extraction tags

To import compiled prompts

  1. In Speech Prompt Editor, open a prompt database.
  2. On the Speech Prompt Editor toolbar, click Import Script.
  3. In the Import Recordings dialog box, select Import compiled prompts and either enter a path, or click Browse and navigate to the file, and then click OK.
