ReadingBar Supported Control Codes (continued...)

Voice Control

Note: Some controls will only work with ReadingBar if you have AT&T Natural Voices installed.

Voices can be changed easily on the fly using the voice control tags. If the voice has not been loaded in the current session a noticeable pause will occur while it is loaded into memory. After the initial load each session voice switching can be done smoothly.

There are two methods by which the voice can be switched. Male and Female can be used and ReadingBar will chose the voice that meets the requirements.

<voice required="Gender=Male">
A man should speak this sentence
</voice>

<voice required="Gender=Female">
A female should speak this sentence
</voice>

Or the voices can be switched by name. If the voice requested does not exist ReadingBar will use the default voice in the same class. For instance if Mike16 does not exist but Mel16 does Mel16 would ask as the default 16k Male voice. Non-16k voices do not require any digits after the name, so mike would be "mike".

<voice required="Name=mike16">
Mike should speak this.
</voice>

<voice required="Name=lauren16">
Lauren should speak this.
</voice>
