PeriStudio
PeriStudio is a software tool used to create, manage, and edit audio elements for MPS
systems. Audio elements serve a variety of purposes in the voice processing
environment, including providing verbal information, messages, voice recordings,
touch-tones for phone line control, sound effects, music, etc. In the PeriStudio editor,
audio elements may be initially recorded, as well as edited in any way germane to
audio processing (e.g., volume levels, frequency range, duration of silent periods,
etc.). Included with the tool is a GUI-based audio (MMF file) editor, file management
and interchange facilities, and advanced audio signal processing capabilities.
Primarily, PeriStudio is used for:
• recording audio from a variety of sources (microphone, tape, line source, and
other audio data format files).
• playing back recorded vocabulary elements for audible verification.
• editing all or portions of the recorded data (cut, paste, delete, scale length,
etc.).
• importing and exporting audio items from or to other multimedia format files.
• performing advanced audio signal processing (equalization, normalization,
mixing, filtering, etc.) of recorded elements to improve the sound quality.
• performing batch editing and processing on multiple elements in a single
operation for obtaining consistent vocabularies as well as saving time.
Support is provided for both digital and analog environments, and digital and analog
elements may be stored in the same multi-media (vocabulary) file. Audio files created
in other software environments may also be imported into PeriStudio.
In order to provide a complete audio processing environment, an audio cassette tape
player, an external speaker and a telephone handset are recommended. The cassette
player is used to input recordings of speech to be digitized and processed for use on an
MPS system. The telephone handset is used to verify the speech quality of audio
elements as heard by system callers. The handset can also be used to record new
speech elements directly to the editor. The external speaker is useful during editing
and any subsequent audio processing operations to determine the effect of signal
modifications made by the user.
Generally, PeriStudio should be run on a separate development workstation. Should it
be necessary to run it on a workstation that is also actively processing phone calls,
PeriStudio should be used only during times of low system activity. Processing-
intensive activities (e.g., digitizing elements, adjusting their lengths, etc.) may impact
the overall performance of the MPS system.
For additional information about using PeriStudio to create, edit and manage audio
elements in the MPS environment, refer to the PeriStudio User’s Guide.
