Intonator (FreeTTS 1.2)

java.lang.Object
- com.sun.speech.freetts.cart.Intonator

All Implemented Interfaces:

UtteranceProcessor
```
public class Intonator
extends java.lang.Object
implements UtteranceProcessor
```
Annotates the Relation.SYLLABLE relations of an utterance with "accent" and "endtone" features. Though not required, a typical use of this is to use the ToBI (tones and break indeces) scheme for transcribing intonation and accent in English, developed by Janet Pierrehumbert and Mary Beckman. This implementation is independent of the ToBI scheme: ToBI annotations are not used by this class, but are merely copied from the CART result to the "accent" and "endtone" features of the Relation.SYLLABLE relation.
