3 | \begin{itemize} | ||
4 | \item \textbf{Voice Menus} | ||
5 | 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 \textbf{/.rockbox/lang/} directory on the \dap. Voice files are large (1.5MB) and are not shipped with Rockbox by default. | ||
6 | The voice file is the name of the language for which it is made, followed by the extension .voice. So for English, the file name would be \fname{english.voice}. | ||
7 | This option is on by default. It will do nothing unless the appropriate .voice file is installed in the correct place on the \dap. | ||
8 | \begin{itemize} | ||
9 | \item \textbf{Limitations} | ||
10 | \begin{itemize} | ||
11 | \item Setting the Sound Option \textbf{Channels} to ``karaoke'' may disable voice menus. | ||
12 | \item Plugins and the wake up alarm do not support voice features. | ||
13 | \end{itemize} | ||
14 | \end{itemize} | ||
15 | |||
16 | \item \textbf{Voice Directories} | ||
17 | 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. | ||
18 | \begin{itemize} | ||
19 | \item \textbf{.talk mp3 clip: } | ||
20 | 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 ``numbers'' option below. | ||
21 | \item \textbf{Spell: } | ||
22 | Speak the directory name by spelling it out letter by letter. Support is provided only for the most common letters and punctuation. | ||
23 | \item \textbf{Numbers: } | ||
24 | Each directory is assigned a number based upon its position in the file list. They are then announced as ``Directory 1'', ``Directory 2'' etc. | ||
25 | \item \textbf{Off: } | ||
26 | No attempt will be made to speak directory names. | ||
27 | \end{itemize} | ||
28 | |||
29 | \item \textbf{Voice Filenames} | ||
30 | This option turns on the speaking of directory names. The options provided are ``Spell'', ``Numbers'', and ``Off'' which function the same as for \textbf{Voice Directories} and ``.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 \textbf{Punkadiddle.mp3.talk}). | ||
