ABSTRACT:
A computerized method (300) and software product (200) is provided for querying and modifying a Multi-Level Data Structure (106) stored in a Text-to-Speech (100) engine of a data processing system having a Central Processing Unit (202), a processing system memory (203), and an operating system (201), using an application program written in an interpretive programming language. The method includes the steps of initializing (302) by means of the CPU implementing a set of commands, a data processing environment for processing the application program, processing (306) the application program, where the processing includes identifying a marked command that encapsulates a DPMS program, and upon identifying a marked command, operating (318) on the MLDS using a DPMS interpreter for producing a result from the MLDS, the result available to the application program during execution of the application program.
