Acuity Speech

EN

Read aloud preferences

The read aloud preferences show 
the languages the Acuity Speech 
is able to detect when capturing 
documents and which voice is 
selected for those languages. 
The device will decide the 
document language upon capture 
and read the document in that 
language with the selected voice.

Language

On the left side there are 5 rows for languages. The Acuity speech is able to detect many 
languages and can recognize up to 5 languages when scanning a document. The user 
can select up to 5 preferred languages. 

Voice

Each language has a selection of voices. The languages have male and/or female 
voice(s) with different accents, for instance the English language can have voices with 
an American English tone or British English tone. These country specifi c tones are also 
visible by looking at the fl ag symbol next to the selected voice. 
Listen to a voice by tapping the play symbol on the right of every row. 

Selected languages/voices

A checkmark in front of the languages turns the recognition of a language and voice on or 
off. You can have up to 5 rows active, or deactive some. This can be used if a document 
has multiple languages and you want to force the device to use a specifi c one or select a 
language multiple times and have different voices.

It is impossible to deselect all rows, at least one row will stay enabled.

Speed and volume

These buttons change the reading speed and reading volume. This is the same function 
as the reading speed and reading volume on the buttonbar.
