Notes on useful settings and operation
As described above, a number of settings can be made for the speech module VSpeak.
If the sensor values are present and not turned to the "OFF" position, the sensor values are all
announced at once (without a break ....), according to the order of the table in section 5.3. The
start of the announcements can be either timed (at the end of time "stop timed announcements")
or requested ("single-click").
Furthermore you can enable the announcement of altitude and current consumption on a set
difference (and no other announcement is happening at this moment).
To avoid being distracted by too many announcements one should
only allow a few
announcements
for the timed announcement or announcement to "single-click" (Immediate
Start).

wav files
The wav files (audio files of the announcements) are arranged in
accordance with the adjacent picture in directories according to the
country code (e.g. DE for German) and voices: (e.g., Robbi, Rolf,
Silvia ...).
The directory "XYZ" is available in any language. The available wav
files can be replaced by "diligent" users of the Vspeak module by
own recordings, i.e. can be overwritten.
To create your own wav files there's useful information on the
website:
The self-generated wav files can be easily tested in VSpeak (see
section 5.3):
1.
Settings choose <language> and <voice>
2.
settings "wav test ON"
(the wav files are played in an infinite loop)
"Creative self-generated voices" can be mailed for review and
inclusion in the selection of voices by VSpeak at the address
mentioned in section 14.

Update
The processor on the speech module contains a SD bootloader with a version counter.
If firmware updates are available they will be sent via mail. The information in the mail files
are copied on the Micro SD card (formatted FAT or FAT16), this is inserted into the speech
module and power turned on. The boot loader will recognize the new software version, boots
(blue LED "flickers") and is now up to date.
Everytime with the first turning on the current version number is announced.
