Off.
No attempt will be made to speak directory names.
You can use pre-generated .talk clips to have directory names spoken properly,
but you must enable this explicitly (see below).
Use Directory .talk Clips.
This option turns on the use of .talk clips for directories.
On.
Use special pre-recorded MP3 files (
dirname.talk
) in each directory. These
must be generated in advance, and are typically produced synthetically us-
ing a text-to-speech engine on a PC.
Off.
No checking is made for directory .talk clips; they are not used even if present.
This can reduce disk activity.
Use of a .talk clip takes precedence over other directory name voicing. Otherwise
(e.g. if a .talk clip is not available), voicing uses the method set under V
OICE
D
IRECTORIES
above.
Voice Filenames.
This option controls voicing of filenames. Again, a voice file must
be present for this to work. The options provided are S
PELL
, N
UMBERS
, and O
FF
which function the same as for V
OICE
D
IRECTORIES
. You can use pre-generated
.talk clips to have filenames spoken properly, but you must enable this explicitly
(see below).
Use File .talk Clips.
This option turns on the use of .talk clips for files.
On.
Use special pre-recorded MP3 files for each file. This functions the same as
for directories except that the .talk clip file must have the same name as the
described file with an extra .talk extension (e.g.
Punkadiddle.mp3
would
require a file called
Punkadiddle.mp3.talk
).
Off.
No checking is made for file .talk clips; they are not used even if present.
This can reduce disk activity.
Use of a .talk clip takes precedence over other filename voicing. Otherwise (e.g. if
a .talk clip is not available), voicing uses the method set under V
OICE
F
ILENAMES
above.
Say File Type.
This option turns on voicing of file types when V
OICE
F
ILENAMES
is
set to S
PELL
or N
UMBERS
. When V
OICE
D
IRECTORIES
is set to S
PELL
, “Directory”
will be voiced after each spelled out directory.
Announce Battery Level.
When this option is enabled the battery level is announced
when it falls under 50%, 30% and 15%.
