Synthesized Speech Messages
Control Character
The control character 9960 must be entered before the actual speech word
codes when building a synthesized speech message.
Format
The format for Synthesized Speech Messages is as follows:
• Enter the control character 9960.
• Then enter the various speech word codes described in the Synthesized
Speech Vocabulary Tables beginning on page A-11 to create the desired
message.
• Each word is represented by a four-digit code.
• When building a synthesized speech message, be sure to use all four digits
of the code (do not omit leading zeroes).
• You may end the synthesized speech message with the (*) character, or
enter another control character (99xx) and continue with another message
type.
Delay Character
A special Pre-Message Delay Character, 0000, can be programmed after the
control character 9960 but before the word characters. The 0000 causes the
message handler to pause for 1 second before sending the synthesized
speech message. Any additional 0000s found after the first one will be ignored.
If the synthesized speech message was preceded by any other message, the
0000 will be ignored.
Pause Character
The Pause Character should be used to separate word groups in a synthesized
speech message. This character is shown in the vocabulary as (pause).
Timeout Timer
When a synthesized speech message is encountered by the message handler,
the message handler attempts to communicate with the speech synthesis
module and starts a 5-second Timeout Timer. If the module is disconnected or
inoperative, the message handler will disregard the message after the timer
expires.
Synthesized Speech Vocabulary
Synthesized speech messages utilize the Synthesized Speech Vocabulary
Tables beginning on page A-11. There are tables for male and female voice, as
well as sound effects.
Tone Codes
When entering tone frequencies for CW, beep, or paging messages, a Tone
Code is required. Tone Codes are 4-digit numbers representing the period of
