Modify The Way A Button Speaks

The way a button speaks can be modified by simply editing the button action or changing the settings. The following is a listing of the speaking button actions that are available:

• Speech Message: speaks whatever text is in the message box and adds it to the display
• Speak Message Only: speaks whatever text is in the message box (does not add it to the display)
• Speak Label Only: speaks whatever text is in the label box (does not add it to the display)
• Add message to Display: adds text in the message box to the display (doesn’t speak it)
• Play Audio: plays whatever recorded message has been assigned to the button
• Speak: this will speak all text that exists on the display and in the display buffer
• Speak last: repeats the last thing spoken

All of these actions are dependent on the Speech Settings. There is an over-all Speech On/Off setting in the Settings Menu.
