however I just did a test, and once I was holding the joystick in a given
direction to scroll through the menu, the speech wasn't playing, which I
would find annoying if it was constantly trying to say things. The only
reason I knew scrolling to the end of the main menu had finished was
because I heard the beeping from the patch playing to indicate the end of
the list had been reached.
So, if it started the voice for the last item in the list when the end of
the list was reached, would your problem be solved without needing this
patch?
it would be solved but it would lead to slower browsing.
as at the moment, I hear the beep from the patch and I know instantly I have
reached the end of the menu or list.
however, if the speech started to play for the last item in the list, I feel
I would take longer to react to it as I would start to think about what
letters or option I was being read.
A beep is very short and easily attracts my attention something that speech
probably wouldn't do.
As I would take a few seconds to think about what was being read, but with
the beep I know instantly what it means.
Also, depending on the speed of the voice being used to make the voice file,
it would probably take a lot longer to start reading whatever it was
supposed to than a beep would take to play. Especially if it was a file name
being spelled, as a beep is over like that, but by the time I react to the
speech, the speech may have read two, three or four letters of a name.
