The Text Input for TTS text box can be cleared at any time using the Clear Text
button located directly below it.

Insert button and drop-box
The drop-box located to the right of the Insert button contains a list of possible
foreign-language characters that might be required when inputting text in
languages other than English. It also contains emoticons and other special
characters, which can be used as inline commands to control the behaviour of
the TTS application when using the EPSON parser. To insert these characters
into the text-box, make a selection and then press the Insert button.

5.2.2.1
Open File button and File list-box
The list box located above the Open File button contains a list of all of the files
with a .txt extension located in the same directory as the evaluation application
executable. This list is compiled on start-up.
The Open File button causes the text within the file currently selected in the
list-box to be placed in the Text Input for TTS text box. This provides a facility
for reading text from a pre-created text file rather than typing it in directly.
Should the user wish to add their own .txt files containing input text for the
TTS application to the file list, the .txt file should be saved in the same
directory as the evaluation application executable file.
A number of example files are supplied with the evaluation kit. The languages
of the files are indicated by the ending: “en” for English, “es” for Spanish, “de”
for German, and “fr” for French. The ending “dectalk” indicates that the file
requires the DECtalk(R) parser to be enabled.
All these options can be set automatically when a file is opened by header
comments in the file, so do not need to be set by the user for the example files
supplied with the system.
5.2.2.2 Language
list-box
The Language drop-box is used to specify the target language. The user has the
option of selecting U.S. English, Castillian Spanish, French, German or Latin
Spanish. The default on start-up is U.S. English.
