Parameter
Description
Fetch Audio
The Fetch Audio parameter specifies the location of the audio clip to be played
to cover the delay while waiting for a document to be fetched. The fetching of
the audio clip is governed by the values of Audio Fetch Hint and Fetch Timeout.
The playing of the audio clip is governed by the values of Fetch Audio Delay
and Fetch Audio Minimum.
Fetch Timeout
The Fetch Timeout parameter sets the maximum length of time for fetches.
Fetch Audio Delay
When a fetch delay is short, it may be better to allow a few seconds of silence
rather than play a very short snatch of audio.
The Fetch Audio Delay parameter sets the time interval that must elapse at the
start of a fetch delay before the audio clip is played. See Fetch Audio Minimum.
The default interval is platform-dependent.
Fetch Audio
Minimum
The Fetch Audio Minimum parameter specifies the minimum length of time an
audio clip is played, once started, even if the fetch result arrives in the
meantime. See Fetch Audio Delay.
The default is platform-dependent.
Audio Fetch Hint
The Audio Fetch Hint parameter specifies whether the platform can attempt to
optimize dialog interpretation by pre-fetching the audio. The options are
•
safe
- the platform fetches the audio when it is needed
•
prefetch
- the platform is permitted, but not required, to pre-fetch the
audio
•
default
These are selected from a drop-down list.
Once you have set the appropriate voice properties, click
OK
