An application that uses the Nuance Vocalizer server can use a custom dictionary. You can create as many custom dictionaries as you require. You can pass the dictionary as a vendor specific parameter switts.ssftrs_dict_enable or define the dictionary using parameter dictionaries in the Nuance Vocalizer configuration file baseline.xml.
Procedure
Create the custom dictionaries, as described in the Nuance Vocalizer documentation. Nuance Vocalizer doesn’t support text-based dictionary format (DCT or TDC files) anymore, only binary user dictionary format, BDC or DCB files, is supported. The binary dictionary format has also changed.
Convert the old text format dictionary (.dct or .tdc) to the new Vocalizer text format dictionary (.txt) with the following command:
Skip this step if you’ve already created a new text format dictionary.
Compile text format dictionary (.txt) to binary format dictionary, .bdc or .dcb, with the following command:
dictcpl –o <BinaryFilename.bdc> <TextName.txt>
For example:
dictcpl -o DictionaryName.bdc DictionaryName.txt
If the user dictionary will be accessed from the application server through HTTP, you must map the dictionary extensions that you are using to the appropriate MIME type.
On each Nuance Vocalizer HTTP server, open the mime.types file.
The default file location on Linux is in the /etc/ directory. The default locations on Windows are:
