# Input and Output Files

This appendix contains tables that describe the files that IDOL Speech Server handles. Where appropriate, they include the following information.

Section | The configuration section that contains the parameters.
Configuration parameter | The configuration parameter that defines a file name.
Mode | The module mode.
Input/Output type | Whether the file is an input or an output file.
File type | The type of file, for example a log file or configuration file. This field specifies the file extension. For more information, see IDOL Speech Server File Types.
Default directory | The default directory location for the file. If you do not specify a file path, IDOL Speech Server defaults to this directory.

## Specify Files

When you specify a file in a parameter, you must include the file name. The file path is optional. If you do not include the path, IDOL Speech Server uses a default directory. You can specify either an absolute or relative file path; relative paths are regarded as being relative to the default directory. Use forward slashes (/) for paths on Linux and backslashes (\) for paths on Windows.

## Input Files

If an input file name has a file extension, you must include it when you specify the file. The only exception is when you use the `CustomLm` parameter in the language resource section of the configuration files to specify a custom language model. In this case, you can supply up to nine custom language models, separated by one of the following separator characters: `:;@^|`

For example:

    &customLM=testOK^0.08^testOK^0.08
    &customLM=test OK|0.08|test OK|0.08
    &customLM=test:OK;0.08;test:OK;0.08

NOTE:

you must use the same separator character within a single `customLM` declaration.

IDOL Speech Server checks the number of language models that you specify, and reports an error if there are more than nine.

## Output Files

Output files have extensions added automatically if the `AddOutputExtensions` parameter is set to `True` in the `[Server]` section of the configuration file. Otherwise you must include the file extensions for output files.
