Working with Speech
When you select a speech synthesizer, you can select from a variety of
voices to speak individual characters, words, phrases, or sentences. You
can select exactly what and when you want to speak.
Selecting a Synthesizer and Voice
To access the available voices, choose Menu > Settings > Speech Output
> Voice > Synthesizer. Select a synthesizer from the Synthesizer menu.
Then choose Voice Settings to select a voice. The Acapela and Ivona
synthesizers provide lists of voices from which to choose.
Select a voice and choose the Test button to hear a sample of the voice
you selected. When you are satisfied with the voice you selected,
choose Save.
If you are using Chat Editor, you will not have access to the synthesizer
voices. “SAPI” voices were provided with the installer CD for your
computer. You should be able to select them from the Voice pull-down list.
Note: Chat Editor is not intended to function as a speech generating device.
It is a support tool for modifying the client’s vocabulary so that the client
can continue using the device while modifications are being made.
Adding a Pause between Words
You can force a specified speech delay between individual words.
Choose Menu > Settings > Speech Output > Voice > Pause Between
Words. The current delay time is displayed.
1. To increase the delay, tap + (the plus sign) or type a higher number.
2. To decrease the delay, tap – (the minus sign) or type a lower
number.
3. Choose Done and then choose OK.
