# Voice Preferences

# Voice Type Settings

## Voice type

This combo box makes it possible for you to use different voices so that you can better distinguish uppercase and linked text from other text, and on-screen text from text added by Orca.

### Mehrere Stimmen konfigurieren

For each voice you wish to configure, first select the voice in the Voice type combo box. Then configure the person, rate, pitch, and volume to be used for that voice.

## Sprachsystem

This combo box allows you to select your preferred speech system from those you have installed, such as Speech Dispatcher.

## Sprachsynthesizer

This combo box allows you to select the speech synthesizer to be used with your chosen Speech system.

## Person

This combo box allows you to choose which "person" or "speaker" should be used with the selected voice. For instance, you might wish to have David speak by default, but have hyperlinks spoken by Alice. Note that what you find in the Person combo box will depend on which speech synthesizers you have installed.

## Geschwindigkeit, Tonhöhe und Lautstärke

These three left-right sliders allow you to further customize the sound of the person you have just selected.

# Global Voice Settings

## Sprache zwischen Pausen in einzelne Blöcke aufteilen

Abhängig von den eingeschalteten Spracheigenschaften kann Orca einiges zu einem bestimmten Objekt sagen, wie etwa seinen Namen, seine Rolle, seinen Zustand, seine Tastaturkürzel, seine informative Botschaft und so weiter. Das Ankreuzfeld Sprechpausen zum Zerteilen nutzen veranlasst Orca, kurze Pausen zwischen diese Informationshäppchen einzufügen.

Standardwert: aktiviert

## Zusammengesetzte Wörter einzeln vorlesen

In some text, and especially when working with code, one often comes across a "word" consisting of several words with alternating case, such as "MultiCaseString." Speech synthesizers do not always pronounce such multicase strings correctly. Checking the Speak multicase strings as words checkbox will cause Orca to break a word like "MultiCaseString" into separate words ("Multi," "Case," and "String") prior to passing it along to the speech synthesizer.

Standardwert: nicht aktiviert

## Say All By

The Say All By combo box allows you to specify whether Orca speaks a sentence at a time or a line at a time when doing a "Say All" of a document.

Default value: Sentence
