## Voice type

Este cadro combinado fai posiel que use voces diferentes para distinguir mellor o texto en maiúsculas e o texto ligado de outro texto, e o texto en que aparece en pantalla de outro texto que Orca engada.

### Configurar múltiples voces

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.

## Sistema de voz

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

## Sintetizador de voz

Este cadro combinado permítelle seleccionar o sintetizador de voz que usar co sistema de voz elixido.

## Persoa

Este cadro combinado permítelle elixir que «persona» ou «falante» se debería usar coa voz seleccionada. Por exemplo, podería querer ter a David para falar de maneira predeterminada, pero ter a alicia para falar as hiperligazóns. Teña en conta que o que atope no cadro combinado Persoa dependerá de que sintetizador de voz teña instalado.

## Capitalization style

This combo box allows you to choose which Speech Dispatcher capitalization indication styles you wish to use in addition to Orca's capitalization voice. The options, which are named using Speech Dispatcher's terminology, are:

icon: Plays a tone

spell: Speaks the word "capital"

none

### This setting can be toggled on the fly

Orca also has a command to cycle through the available capitalization styles. See Speech Settings Commands for more information.

Default value: none

## Velocidade, ton e volume

Estes tres deslizadores esquerda-dereita permítenlle personalizar aínda máis o son da persoa que acaba de seleccionar.

# Global Voice Settings

## Partir a voz en anacos entre pausas

Depending on the enabled speech settings, Orca may have quite a bit to say about a particular object such as its name, its role, its state, its mnemonic, its tutorial message, and so on. Checking the Break speech into chunks between pauses checkbox will cause Orca to insert brief pauses in between each of these pieces of information.

Valor por omisión: marcado

## Ler as cadeas con maiúsculas e minúsculas como palabras

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.

Valor predeterminado: non marcado

## Speak numbers as digits

Checking the Speak numbers as digits checkbox will cause Orca to break a number like "123" into separate digits ("1," "2," and "3") prior to passing it along to the speech synthesizer.
