CHAPTER 6. GENERAL SETTINGS 36
• Setting the Sound Option CHANNELS to KARAOKE may disable voice menus.
• Plugins do not support voice features.
Voice Directories. This option turns on the speaking of directory names. The player is
not powerful enough to produce these voices in real time, so a number of options
are available.
.talk mp3 clip. Use special pre-recorded MP3 files ( dirname.talk) in each di-
rectory. These must be generated in advance, and are typically produced
synthetically using a text to speech engine on a PC. If no such file exists, the
output is as for the NUMBERS option below.
Spell. Speak the directory name by spelling it out letter by letter. Support is
provided only for the most common letters and punctuation.
Numbers. Each directory is assigned a number based upon its position in the file
list. They are then announced as “Directory 1”, “Directory 2” etc.
Off. No attempt will be made to speak directory names.
Voice Filenames. This option turns on the speaking of filenames. The options pro-
vided are SPELL, NUMBERS , and OFF which function the same as for VOICE DI-
RECTORIES and .TALK MP3 CLIP, which functions as above except that the files
are named with the same name as the music file (e.g. Punkadiddle.mp3 would
require a file called Punkadiddle.mp3.talk).
