# SegmentText

Japanese, Korean, Mandarin, and Taiwanese Mandarin languages do not separate words with whitespace. Text in these languages must be segmented into words before IDOL Speech Server can process them. You can segment text using the `SegmentText` task.

## Parameters

Parameter | Description | Required
--- | --- | ---
Type | The task name. Set to `SegmentText`. | Yes
IgnoreHashLines | Whether to exempt sections bounded by hash symbols from segmentation. |
Lang | The language pack to use. | Yes
Pgf | The pronunciation information file to use. | Yes
TxtFileIn | The text file to segment. | Yes
TxtFileOut | The text file to write the segmented text to. | Yes

## Example

    http://localhost:13000/action=AddTask&Type=SegmentText&Lang=JAJP&TxtFileIn=C:/Data/Japanese.txt&TxtFileOut=JA_seg.txt&Pgf=T:\LP\ENUK\ver-ENUK-5.0.pgf

This action uses port `13000` to instruct IDOL Speech Server, which is located on the local machine, to segment text in the `Japanese.txt` file and write the results to the `JA_seg.txt` file in the Temp directory.
