Hello scott,
The Message voice is just another set of voice characteristics known as
"Voice Context." It is an optional Voice Context used to speak off-screen
material, such as when you hit Insert+F12 to get the system's time spoken.
JFW3.3X offers several different voice contexts to give the user a means of
differentiating which cursor is active, or that the
the system's time spoken--it isn't getting that info off the screen, and
the Message voice is letting you know that by announcing the info in a
different voice than your regular Global, Keyboard, PcCursor, or JawsCursor
voice context.
If you wish off-screen material be announced in the same voice context as
on-screen material, then just set your Message voice settings the same as
the Global voice settings.
If your synthesizer offers more than one voice template, (i.e. DecTalk,
DoubleTalk, etc.), then you can set the Message voice to be a totally
different voice template than your other voice contexts. I use the
DoubleTalk-PC, and I have "Perfect Paul" as the Global Voice context, and
"Vader" as the Message voice--the latter being a much deeper based voice
template.
If your synthesizer has only a single voice template, then you can use the
rate and pitch settings to give each JFW voice context a different,
distinguishing set of characteristics.
You can have messages announced in any of the voice contexts, using the
function "SayUsingVoice." Here is an example of this function being used to
speak the system time, and one saying a string of text. Notice the first
parameter is what sets the voice context used to announce the desired
material:
script AnnounceTimeAndTextString()
; Announce the system's time using the Message context.
SayUsingVoice(VCTX_MESSAGE, SysGetSystemTime(), ot_string)
;Say a string of text using the Keyboard's context.
SayUsingVoice(VCTX_KEYBOARD, "I use JFW3.3!", ot_string)
EndScript
Hope I didn't confuse the situation!
Thanks,
