SPPARTOFSPEECH

  • Article

This enumeration defines the parts of speech categories used in SAPI 5.0. The currently defined list of parts of speech is intentionally small and broad and will be expanded and refined in future releases. In its minimal form, this enumeration is required to support lookups from the standard SAPI lexicon. This information is useful to TTS engines to determine the correct pronunciation for ambiguous words based on their context.

typedef enum SPPARTOFSPEECH{
  //--- SAPI5 public POS category values (bits 28-31)
  SPPS_NotOverriden = -1,
  SPPS_Unknown = 0,
  SPPS_Noun = 0x1000,
  SPPS_Verb = 0x2000,
  SPPS_Modifier = 0x3000,
  SPPS_Function = 0x4000,
  SPPS_Interjection = 0x5000
} SPPARTOFSPEECH;
