Conventions

In this book, you will find a number of text styles that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles and an explanation of their meaning.

Code words in text are shown as follows: “The getResult method returns a SpeechResult instance which holds the result of the processing." Database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles are shown as follows: "The KevinVoiceDirectory contains two voices: kevin and kevin16."

A block of code is set as follows:

Voice[] voices = voiceManager.getVoices();
for (Voice v : voices) {
    out.println(v);
}

Any command-line input or output is written as follows:

Name: kevin16
Description: default 16-bit diphone voice
Organization: cmu
Age: YOUNGER_ADULT
Gender: MALE

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, for example, in menus or dialog boxes, appear in the text like this: "Select the Images category and then filter for Labeled for reuse."
