Changing How Much Punctuation is Spoken
Enter the Speech configuration menu. Press Skip twice to move
to the Punctuation setting. You should hear the Blazer say,
Punctuation, Some", which is the default. This means that the
Blazer says only some punctuation as it speaks.
To change this setting, cycle through its options by pressing
Enter. The options are, "Some", "Most", and "total.” Your choice
is automatically selected once you move to another setting
within this menu, move to another menu, or exit menu mode
altogether.
Changing Voice Inflection
Enter the Speech configuration menu. Press Skip until you hear
the Blazer say, "voice inflection, off", which is the default. This
means that the Blazer's speech synthesizer speaks in a robotic
voice.
Since this setting only has two options, you can toggle between
them by pressing Enter."Off" makes the Blazer's speech
synthesizer sound more robotic. "On" makes it rise and fall
more naturally as it speaks.
Changing Speech Rate
Enter the Speech configuration menu. There are two speech
rate settings you can change: faster and slower. Move to the
speech rate settings by pressing Skip until you hear either
"Speed faster" or "Speed slower." Once you're pointing either to
"Speed faster" or to "Speed slower",
you can change the Blazer's speech rate by pressing Enter
repeatedly. Each time you press Enter, The Blazer says the
word "Faster" or "Slower" at a faster or slower rate. Once you
hear the rate you want, exit menu mode or press the Skip or
Back-up key to work with another setting.

settings you can change: higher and lower. Move to the Pitch
