name would be
english.voice
. This option is on by default, but will do nothing
unless the appropriate voice file is installed in the correct place on the player. The
Voice Menus have several limitations:
•
Setting the Sound Option
Channels
to
Karaoke
may disable voice menus.
•
Plugins do not support voice features.
Voice Directories.
This option controls voicing of directory names. A voice file must be
present for this to work. Several options are available.
Spell.
Speak the directory name by spelling it out letter by letter. Support is
provided only for the most common letters, numbers and punctuation.
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.
Off.
No attempt will be made to speak directory names.
You can use pre-generated .talk clips to have directory names spoken properly, but
you must enable this explicitly (see below).
Use Directory .talk Clips.
This option turns on the use of .talk clips for directories.
On.
Use special pre-recorded files (
_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.
Off.
No checking is made for directory .talk clips; they are not used even if present.
This can reduce disk activity.
Use of a .talk clip takes precedence over other directory name voicing. Otherwise
(e.g. if a .talk clip is not available), voicing uses the method set under
Voice
Directories
above.
Voice Filenames.
This option controls voicing of filenames. Again, a voice file must be
present for this to work. The options provided are
Spell
,
Numbers
, and
Off
which function the same as for
Voice Directories
. You can use pre-generated
.talk clips to have filenames spoken properly, but you must enable this explicitly
(see below).
Use File .talk Clips.
This option turns on the use of .talk clips for files.
On.
Use special pre-recorded files for each file. This functions the same as for
directories except that the .talk clip file must have the same name as the
described file with an extra .talk extension (e.g.
Punkadiddle.mp3
would
require a file called
Punkadiddle.mp3.talk
).
Off.
No checking is made for file .talk clips; they are not used even if present. This
can reduce disk activity.
Use of a .talk clip takes precedence over other filename voicing. Otherwise (e.g. if
a .talk clip is not available), voicing uses the method set under
Voice Filenames
above.
