WYNN 7.0 User Guide - Freedom Scientific

Voice Selection
178
You can assign different voices for reading and editing text (Reading Voice),
reading items in menus and dialog boxes (Menu Voice), and reading
emphasized text such as bold, underline, and italic (Emphasis Voice). This can
help distinguish what is being read. After selecting the type of voice, you can
customize and adjust items such as volume and reading speed for each voice.
Apply Settings to All Voices
When selected, any changes made to the current voice (for example, the
Reading Voice) are also made to other voices (for example, the Menu Voice
and the Emphasis Voice). Settings are immediately applied after clicking the
OK or Apply buttons. Note that the next time you open Speech Setting, the
check box is cleared; however, the previous changes made still apply to all
voices. The check box is cleared by default.
Voice Settings Group
Note: Whenever you open the Speech Settings dialog, the Reading Voice is
selected, and the Voice Settings Group is therefore called Reading Voice
Settings Group. If you change to the Menu Voice, this group will be displayed
as Menu Voice Settings Group. The instructions below assume you are making
changes for the Reading Voice.
Synthesizer
Use this to select a speech driver (RealSpeak Solo Direct or SAPI 5) WYNN
should use for speaking and reading text. After selecting a synthesizer, you
can use the Language and Name options to select a reading voice that is ideal
for you. If you choose RealSpeak Solo Direct, the synthesizer that comes with
WYNN, you can choose among all its voices and languages for speech.
Additional voices and languages are available at www.freedomscientific.com,
by selecting Downloads and then RealSpeak Solo Direct Voices. If you choose
SAPI 5, you can use any SAPI 5 voice that you have purchased and installed
on your computer.
