# Einstellungen für Sprache

# Sprache aktivieren

The Enable speech check box controls whether or not Orca will make use of a speech synthesizer. Braille-only users will likely want to uncheck this checkbox.

Standardwert: aktiviert

# Ausführlichkeit

The Verbosity setting determines the amount of information that will be spoken in various situations. For example, if it is set to verbose, and you arrow into a word that is misspelled, Orca will announce that the word is misspelled. When the level is set to brief, this announcement will not be made.

Vorgabewert: Ausführlich

# Tabellenzeilen

The Table Rows radio button group determines what gets spoken when navigating amongst rows in a table. The available options are speak row and speak cell.

Consider the process of examining the list of messages in your Inbox. In order to have Orca announce the sender, subject, date, and presence of attachments you would need speak row. On the other hand, when navigating amongst rows in a spreadsheet, hearing the full row may not be desired. In that case, speak cell should instead be chosen.

Vorgabewert: Zeile sprechen

# Interpunktionsgrad

The Punctuation Level radio button group is used to adjust the amount of punctuation spoken by the synthesizer. The available levels are None, Some, Most, and All.

Vorgabewert: Das meiste

## Keiner

Choosing a punctuation level of None would, as you expect, cause no punctuation to be spoken. Note, however, that special symbols such as subscripted and superscripted numbers, unicode fractions, and bullets are still spoken at this level, even though some might consider these types of symbols punctuation.

## Einige

Choosing a punctuation level of Some causes all of the previously-mentioned symbols to be spoken. In addition, Orca will speak known mathematical symbols, currency symbols, and "^", "@", "/", "&", "#".

## Das meiste

Choosing a punctuation level of Most causes all of the previous-mentioned symbols to be spoken. In addition, Orca will speak all other known punctuation symbols other than "!", "'", ",", ".", "?".

## Alle

Choosing a punctuation level of All, as expected, causes Orca to speak all known punctuation symbols.

# Spoken Context

The following items control the presentation of a variety of supplemental, "system" information about the item with focus. Because the associated text does not appear on screen, this information is presented in Orca's System voice.

## Nur angezeigten Text vorlesen

Checking this checkbox causes Orca to only speak actual text displayed on screen. This option is intended primarily for low vision users and users with a visual learning disability.

Standardwert: nicht aktiviert

Die folgenden Einstellungsmöglichkeiten sind nicht verfügbar, wenn Nur angezeigten Text vorlesen aktiviert ist.

## Leerzeilen vorlesen

If the Speak blank lines checkbox is checked, Orca will say "blank" each time you arrow to a blank line. If it is unchecked, Orca will say nothing when you move to a blank line.

Standardwert: aktiviert

## Einrückungen und Ausrichtung vorlesen

When working with code or editing other documents it is often desirable to be aware of justification and indentation. Checking the Speak indentation and justification checkbox will cause Orca to announce this information.

Standardwert: nicht aktiviert

## Tastenkombination eines Objektes vorlesen

If the Speak object mnemonics checkbox is checked, Orca will announce the mnemonic associated with the object with focus (such as AltO for an OK button).

Standardwert: nicht aktiviert

## Position des Unterelements vorlesen

Checking the Speak child position checkbox will cause Orca to announce the position of the focused item in menus, lists, and trees (e.g. "9 of 16").

Standardwert: nicht aktiviert

## Benutzungshinweise vorlesen

If the Speak tutorial messages checkbox is checked, as you move amongst objects in an interface, Orca will provide additional information, such as how to interact with the currently-focused object.

Standardwert: nicht aktiviert

# Aktualisierungen von Fortschrittsanzeigen

## Aktiviert

If the Enabled checkbox is checked Orca will periodically present the status of progress bars.

Standardwert: aktiviert

## Frequenz (Sekunden)

This spin button determines how often the announcement is made.

Standardwert: 10

## Beschränken auf

This combo box allows you to control which progress bars should be presented, assuming the presentation of progress bar updates has been enabled. The choices are All, Application, and Window.

Choosing All will result in Orca presenting updates for all progress bars, regardless of where the progress bars are located.

Choosing Application will result in Orca presenting updates from progress bars in the active application, even if they are not in the active window.

Choosing Window will result in Orca only presenting updates for progress bars in the active window.
