Discussion

Get or set the speech channel’s current text-processingmode. The returned value specifies whether the channel is currentlyin text input mode or phoneme input mode. The speechInfo parameteris a pointer to a variable of type OSType,which specifies a text-processing mode. The constants modeText and modePhonemes specifythe available text-processing modes.

The modeText constantindicates that the speech channel is in text-processing mode. The modePhonemes constantindicates that the speech channel is in phoneme-processing mode.When in phoneme-processing mode, a text buffer is interpreted tobe a series of characters representing various phonemes and prosodiccontrols. Some synthesizers might support additional input-processingmodes and define constants for these modes.

When in text-processing mode, you can also specify how characters and numbers should be processed, using soCharacterMode and soNumberMode.

This selector works with both the GetSpeechInfo and SetSpeechInfo functions.
