+'''Support for Transcription Conversion'''
+
+
+'''Festvox2MaryTranscripts''' [[BR]]
+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.
+
+Configuration Settings:
+
+ * transcriptFile   - Festvox format transcription file (Absolute path)
+
+   
+'''Mary2FestvoxTranscripts'''[[BR]]
+It supports user to convert MARY Supportable format to Festvox format Transcription. It does reciprocal process to above component.
+
+Configuration Settings:
+
+ * transcriptFile   -  Output Festvox format transcription file (Absolute path)
+
+
+'''Feature Vector Extraction from Text Data'''
+
+'''!PhoneUnitFeatureComputer'''[[BR]]
+!PhoneUnitFeatureComputer computes Phone feature vectors for Unit Selection Voice building process. [[BR]]
+ * Note: This module requires a running Maryserver from MARY Installation. [[BR]]
+You can connect to a different server by altering the settings. See the settings help for more information on this. What type of features computed is depends on configuration file called "targetfeatures.config". This configuration file is in Marybase/conf/ directory and directs Server to compute feature vectors. 
+
+
+Configuration Settings:
+
+ * featureDir     -  Output Directory to place computed Phone feature vectors (Absolute path)
+ * maryServerHost -  Server Name 
+ * maryServerPort -  Socket Port number (Default 59125) 
+
+
+
+'''!HalfPhoneUnitFeatureComputer'''
+This component also same as above component. But It computes Half phone level feature vectors. Here "halfphone-targetfeatures.config" file, which is in Marybase/conf/ directory directs Server to compute Half-Phone level feature vectors.
+
+Configuration Settings:
+
+ * featureDir     -  Output Directory to place computed Half-Phone feature vectors (Absolute path)
+ * maryServerHost -  Server Name 
+ * maryServerPort -  Socket Port number (Default 59125)
