 This Component supports user to convert Festvox Transcription format (ex: txt.done.data) to MARY Supportable format. MARY contains individual text files for each wave file. 
 All Voice Import Components use Transcription from MARY Format. So This component is very useful, if user have Transcription in Festvox format.

 EHMM Labeler is a labeling tool, which generates label files with help of Wave files and corresponding Transcriptions. EHMM basic tool is available with Festvox Recent Version.  For running EHMM Labeler under MARY environment you need to compile EHMM tool in your machine. It may take long time depending on the size of the data and system configuration.

+'''!PhoneUnitLabelComputer'''  and  '''!HalfPhoneUnitLabelComputer'''[[BR]]
+
+These components converts the label files into the label files used by Mary. !PhoneUnitLabelComputer produces phone labels, !HalfPhoneUnitLabelComputer produces halfphone labels. User need both to build the voice.
+
+Configuration Settings:
+
+ * labelDir - Output phone label dir. path for !PhoneUnitLabelComputer. 
+              Output Half phone label dir. path !HalfPhoneUnitLabelComputer.  
+
+'''!PhoneLabelFeatureAligner'''[[BR]]
+
+It tries to align the labels and the feature vectors. If alignment fails, you can start the automatic pause correction.[[BR]]
+
+This works as follows:
+
+ - pauses, that are in the label file but not in the feature file are deleted in the label file, and the durations of the previous and next labels are stretched.
+ - pauses that are in the feature file but not in the label file are inserted into the label file with length zero.
+
+
+If there are still errors after the pause correction, you are prompted for each error. You can skip the error or remove the corresponding file from the basename list (the list of files that are used for your voice). "skip all" and "remove all" does this for all problematic files. "Edit unit labels" allows you to edit the label file. "Edit RAWMARYXML" lets you edit the maryxml that is the input for computing the features. You have to have a Maryserver running in order to recompute the features from the maryxml. You can alter the host and port settings for the server by altering the settings for the !UnitFeatureComputer.
