Class Emphasis

java.lang.Object

org.jvoicexml.xml.AbstractXmlNode

org.jvoicexml.xml.ssml.Emphasis

All Implemented Interfaces:

SsmlNode, TextContainer, VoiceXmlNode, XmlNode, org.w3c.dom.Node

public final class Emphasis
extends AbstractXmlNode
implements VoiceXmlNode, TextContainer

The emphasis element requests that the contained text be spoken with emphasis (also referred to as prominence or stress). The synthesis processor determines how to render emphasis since the nature of emphasis differs between languages, dialects or even voices.

Field Detail

TAG_NAME

public static final java.lang.String TAG_NAME

Name of the tag.

Constant Field Values

ATTRIBUTE_LEVEL

public static final java.lang.String ATTRIBUTE_LEVEL

The optional level attribute indicates the strength of emphasis to be applied. Defined values are "strong", "moderate", "none" and "reduced". The default level is "moderate". The meaning of "strong" and "moderate" emphasis is interpreted according to the language being spoken (languages indicate emphasis using a possible combination of pitch change, timing changes, loudness and other acoustic differences). The "reduced" level is effectively the opposite of emphasizing a word. For example, when the phrase "going to" is reduced it may be spoken as "gonna". The "none" level is used to prevent the synthesis processor from emphasizing words that it might typically emphasize. The values "none", "moderate", and "strong" are monotonically non-decreasing in strength.

ATTRIBUTE_NAMES

protected static final java.util.ArrayList<java.lang.String> ATTRIBUTE_NAMES

Supported attribute names for this node.

Constructor Detail

Emphasis

public Emphasis()

Construct a new emphasis object without a node.

This is necessary for the node factory.

See Also:

SsmlNodeFactory

Method Detail

getTagName

public java.lang.String getTagName()

Get the name of the tag for the derived node.

Specified by:

getTagName in interface XmlNode

Returns:

name of the tag.

newInstance

public XmlNode newInstance(org.w3c.dom.Node n,
                           XmlNodeFactory<? extends XmlNode> factory)

Create a new instance for the given node.

Each XmlNode can serve as a prototype in a XmlNodeFactory to produce a collection of child nodes. Factories can then use the prototype pattern to produce new nodes.

Specified by:

newInstance in interface XmlNode

Parameters:

n - The node to encapsulate.

factory - the factroy that calls this method.

Returns:

The new instance.

See Also:

XmlNodeFactory

getLevel

public java.lang.String getLevel()

Retrieve the level attribute.

Returns:

Value of the level attribute.

See Also:

ATTRIBUTE_LEVEL

setLevel

public void setLevel(java.lang.String level)

Set the level attribute.

Parameters:

level - Value of the level attribute.

See Also:

ATTRIBUTE_LEVEL

canContainChild

protected boolean canContainChild(java.lang.String tagName)

Can the specified sub-tag be contained within this node?

Specified by:

canContainChild in class AbstractXmlNode

Parameters:

tagName - Name of child.

Returns:

True if the sub-tag is allowed on this node.

getAttributeNames

public java.util.Collection<java.lang.String> getAttributeNames()

Returns a collection of permitted attribute names for the node.

Specified by:

getAttributeNames in interface XmlNode

Overrides:

getAttributeNames in class AbstractXmlNode

Returns:

A collection of attribute names that are allowed for the node

addText

public Text addText(java.lang.String text)

Creates a new text within this node. If the last child node already is a text node the given trimmed text is appended to that node.

Specified by:

addText in interface TextContainer

Parameters:

text - The text to be added.

Returns:

The new created text.
