2
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}).
31\end{itemize}
