NAME
     lpconv -- convert data in phonetic item to  annotations,  fx
     or synthesizer control data

SYNOPSIS
     lpconv (-i item) (-d dic) (-s) (-f) (-a) (-nd) (-nf|-F) file

DESCRIPTION
     lpconv converts phonetic items (LP)  to  other  data  types:
     annotations (AN), fundamental frequency contours (FX) and/or
     synthesizer control data (SY).  Multiple output items may be
     selected.

     In conversion to annotations, the non-blank symbols found in
     each  LP  record  are  used  to  create annotations at times
     specified by synthetic (default) or  natural  segment  dura-
     tions (-nd switch).

     In conversion to fundamental frequency, logarithmic interpo-
     lation  is  performed  between the Fx values held on each LP
     record for each segment.  Segment  durations  are  synthetic
     (default) or natural (-nd switch).  The Fx values are either
     synthetic (default) or natural (-nf switch).  The  fundamen-
     tal frequency is set to zero when the value of the TARGET[V]
     attribute <= 4.

     In conversion to synthesizer control data, formant  contours
     are   generated   from   the   values   held  on  attributes
     TARGET[FN..V],     BOUNDARY[FN..V],     ENTRY[FN..V]     and
     EXIT[FN..V].   Segment  durations  and fundamental frequency
     contour are as described above.

     Options and their meanings are:

     -I         Identify program and exit.

     -iitem     Select input item number.

     -ddic      Use phonetic dictionary dic  instead  of  default
                dictionary.

     -s         Generate synthesizer control data.

     -f         Generate fundamental frequency contour

     -a         Generate annotations.

INPUT ITEMS
     6.xx       Any phonetic item.

OUTPUT ITEMS
     4          Phonetic annotations.
