\item[Voice Menus.]
|
|
This option turns on the Voice User Interface, which will read out menu
|
|
items and settings as they are selected by the cursor. In order for this
|
|
to work, a voice file must be present in the \fname{/.rockbox/lang/}
|
|
directory on the \dap. Voice files are large (1.5MB) and are not
|
|
shipped with Rockbox by default.
|
|
The voice file is the name of the language for which it is made, followed
|
|
by the extension \fname{.voice}. So for English, the file name would be
|
|
\fname{english.voice}.
|
|
This option is on by default. It will do nothing unless the
|
|
appropriate voice file is installed in the correct place on the \dap.
|
|
The Voice Menus have several limitations:
|
|
\begin{itemize}
|
|
\item Setting the Sound Option \setting{Channels} to \setting{Karaoke} may
|
|
disable voice menus.
|
|
\item Plugins and the wake up alarm do not support voice features.
|
|
\end{itemize}
|
|
|
|
\item[Voice Directories.]
|
|
This option turns on the speaking of directory names. The \dap{}
|
|
is not powerful enough to produce these voices in real time, so a number
|
|
of options are available.
|
|
\begin{description}
|
|
\item[.talk mp3 clip.]
|
|
Use special pre-recorded MP3 files (\fname{\_dirname.talk}) in each
|
|
directory. These must be generated in advance, and are typically
|
|
produced synthetically using a text to speech engine on a PC.
|
|
If no such file exists, the output is as for the \setting{numbers}
|
|
option below.
|
|
\item[Spell.]
|
|
Speak the directory name by spelling it out letter by letter. Support
|
|
is provided only for the most common letters and punctuation.
|
|
\item[Numbers.]
|
|
Each directory is assigned a number based upon its position in the
|
|
file list. They are then announced as ``Directory 1'', ``Directory 2''
|
|
etc.
|
|
\item[Off.]
|
|
No attempt will be made to speak directory names.
|
|

|
|
|
\item[Voice Filenames.]
|
|
This option turns on the speaking of directory names. The options provided
|
|
are \setting{Spell}, \setting{Numbers}, and \setting{Off} which function
|
|
the same as for \setting{Voice Directories} and \setting{.talk mp3 clip},
|
|
which functions as above except that the files are named with the same
|
|
name as the music file (e.g. \fname{Punkadiddle.mp3} would require a
|
|
file called \fname{Punkadiddle.mp3.talk}).
