Time/Time Period

Class Name:

com.audium.sayitsmart.plug-ins.AudiumSayItSmartTime

Description

This Say It Smart type handles the playback of the time or a time period. Whether to play back the time or a time period is specified by an input format. The plug-in also supports the different components of the time separated by colons (:) and will require the use of this delimiter if any component of the time is expressed with one digit instead of two (for example, 1:09 AM can be expressed as 0109 or 1:9 where the colon is required if any component is not padded with 0s). The time arrives in 24-hour military format and time periods arrive in combinations of hours, minutes, and seconds. The time is read back in standard English fashion; the hour, the minute, and either "A.M." or "P.M.". Time periods are read back with each component followed by a qualifier (hours, minutes, or seconds). The plug-in will only read the time or time period if it is legitimate (the components are within the appropriate range).

This plug-in uses the Unified CVP Number Say it Smart plug-in to render each component of the time or time period. It uses the same audio files so recordings done to support Number can be leveraged to support Time.

Description

time_hhmm

(24Hr Time (HHMM))

This input format is used to specify the time. It must arrive in 24-hour format with the hours from 00 to 23 and the minute from 00 to 59.

The data can be handled in any of the following formats:

  • hhmm

  • hh:mm

  • h:mm

  • hh:m

  • h:m

period_hhmmss

(Time Period (HHMMSS))

This input format is used to specify a time period including hours (from 00 to 99), minutes (from 00 to 59), and seconds (from 00 to 59).

The data can be handled in any of the following formats:

  • hhmmss

  • hh:mm:ss

period_hhmm

(Time Period (HHMM))

This input format is used to specify a time period including hours (from 00 to 99) and minutes (from 00 to 59).

The data can be handled in any of the following formats:

  • hhmm

  • hh:mm

period_mmss

(Time Period (MMSS))

This input format is used to specify a time period including minutes (from 00 to 99) and seconds (from 00 to 59).

The data can be handled in any of the following formats:

  • mmss

  • mm:ss

Description

time

(The Time)

time_hhmm

The time is read back with the hour (from 1 to 12) followed by the minute (from 0 to 59) followed by "A.M." or "P.M.". If the minute is zero, it will be omitted.

time_special_12

(The Time 12=Midnight/Noon)

time_hhmm

The time is read back exactly as above except that 00:00 is read as midnight and 12:00 is read as noon.

period

Description

standard_time

(Standard Time)

time

This fileset involves fewer audio files to render the time but at the cost of sounding a bit robotic. This directly correlates to the Unified CVP Number Say it Smart plug-in’s standard fileset.

enhanced_time

(Enhanced Time)

time

This fileset involves more audio files to render a better sounding time. This directly correlates to the Unified CVP Number Say It Smart plug-in’s enhanced fileset.

standard_special_12

(Standard Time + Noon/Midnight)

time_special_12

This fileset is exactly the same as standard_time except with two extra files; noon and midnight.

enhanced_special_12

(Enhanced Time + Noon/Midnight)

time_special_12

This fileset is exactly the same as enhanced_time except with two extra files; noon and midnight.

standard_period

(Standard Time Period)

period

This fileset involves fewer audio files to render the time period but at the cost of sounding a bit robotic. This directly correlates to the Unified CVP Number Say it Smart plug-in’s standard fileset.

enhanced_period

(Enhanced Time Period)

period

This fileset involves more audio files to render a better sounding time period. This directly correlates to the Unified CVP Number Say It Smart plug-in’s enhanced fileset.

Note
When reading back a time, zeros are replaced by oh. for example, 13:05 is read back as one oh five P.M. This is not the case for time periods.
