    215  b. If your transcriptions are in Festvox Format, It is necessary to choose "''Festvox2MaryTranscripts''" Component. Because It will convert Festvox format transcriptions to MARY format transcriptions. Voice Import Tools uses MARY format transcription for building Voice. No need to choose "''Mary2FestvoxTranscripts''" component while Building a new Voice. Just we are providing that component for facilitating user to convert any format depending on requirements. 
    216  c. ''!PhoneUnitFeatureComputer'' and ''!HalfPhoneUnitFeatureComputer'' needs a running MARY Server. It is very important point. User need to make sure a Mary Server running while executing above two Components. And one more important issue is MARY Server need to contain at least one Voice of language (German or English), which user wanted build a new voice. 
    217  d. ''!LabelledFilesInspector'' gives a GUI interface to check how good Automatic labeling. It will also support user to listen phone segments according to given timestamps from Automatic labeling. If user don't want to inspect labeling, better no need to choose this component.
