Text-To-Speech enables the computer to speak the note text when an alarm is raised.
Options
- This feature is not enabled by default. Select the Speak Note Text on Alarm option to enable this feature.
- Voice. If more than one Text-To-Speech voice has been installed on the computer, a specific voice (Ex: Microsoft Mike) can be selected for the application. Individual voices for each alarm is not supported, however, the note text can include XML instructions to indicate which voice is to be used.
- Priority. The Priority defines the order in which the Text-To-Speech engine processes speech requests. There are three Text-To-Speech priorities:
- Normal. This is the standard Text-To-Speech priority used by most applications.
- Alert. If this priority is used, the alarm will interrupt (pause) any other normal Text-To-Speech voices. After the Text-To-Speech engine has finished speaking, any interrupted voices will resume speaking. This is the recommended priority for this program.
- Over. If this priority is used, the alarm voice will speak simultaneously with any other Text-To-Speech voices.
- XML and Metatadata. The alarm note text can include XML and metadata which will affect what is spoken by the Text-To-Speech engine. See the Help in the "Notes" tab for more information.
