Text to be spoken for the Placeholder. The ; and Variable can be repeated as
needed to populate multiple placeholders that have been included within an
audioID.
The speech engine can recognize $ as meaning money and will voice any
digits preceded by a $ as an amount. Do not leave a space between the $ and
the digits or the amount will not be recognized as money.
Additionally, numbers will be voiced differently depending upon the
presentation of the numbers. For example, 1 2 3 will be voiced differently

5.1.1.1
Screen Display Update VG Sample
This sample shows the use of placeholders in the response to a balance inquiry transaction. In the
transaction reply message the host has sent
checking
and
500 dollars
as the data to be voiced for screen
345 (audioID 0345) in the screen update data.

indicate that audio data is included in the printer data and the
printer data formats are different for each flag.
Only one type of flag can be used per message. Regardless of the printer flag used, the audio data will be
voiced after the transaction is successfully processed and before moving to the next state included in the
transaction reply message. If the transaction reply message is not processed successfully, the audio data
