  • generating via a processor a pronunciation dictionary for use with a TTS voice;

    generating via the processor a TTS voice to a stage wherein it is prepared to be tested before being deployed;

    receiving a single user input to identify all mislabeled phonetic units associated with the TTS voice at the stage wherein it is prepared to be tested before being deployed;

    for each identified mislabeled phonetic unit, linking without additional user input to an entry within the pronunciation dictionary to correct the entry; and

    deleting, without additional user input, from the pronunciation dictionary utterances and all associated data for unacceptable utterances.
