Group to Dialogic indexed file allows concatenation of several stand-alone telephony voice files (often with a ".vox" extension) into one single indexed Dialogic telephony voice file (often with a ".vap" extension).
One of the very nice features in this version of Vox Studio is that you can group any type of single-prompt file into a grouped (indexed) file. If a format conversion is necessary, Vox Studio does the conversion transparently on-the-fly. It is thus possible, for instance, to start with single-prompt ".wav" files and group them into a ".vap" file as a single operation. There is no need to start with Dialogic files to obtain a Dialogic indexed (grouped) file. To be grouped input files have to be single-prompt files; they cannot themselves be multi-prompt grouped files.
Vox Studio ".vap" indexed files are compatible with the standard Dialogic ".vap" indexed files as produced by the manual voice editors sold by Dialogic and their resellers.
A script file is used to tell Vox Studio which stand-alone files to regroup into an indexed file. This script file is identical in content to the script file used for the prompter and tape loader commands. See elsewhere for a detailed definition of the script file format.
If the files to be grouped are chosen manually (i.e. you are not using a script file for the grouping operation) you can press the Prompt Ordering button to open the prompt ordering window and select the physical order under which you want the files to appear in the indexed file.
Pressing the up- and down-arrow buttons moves the selected file up or down in the list. You can keep those buttons pressed to move a file over a long distance in the list.
