revSetSpeechVoice
Type
command
Summary
Specifies which voice to use with the revSpeak command.
Syntax
revSetSpeechVoice <voiceName>
Description
Use the revSetSpeechVoice command to change the way speech sounds.
To get a list of voices installed on the current system, use the revSpeechVoices function.
If the voiceName you specify is not installed, the revSetSpeechVoice command sets the voice to the default voice set by the system.
The voice specified by the revSetSpeechVoice command is used for all speeches following the command during the current session, but if the computer is already speaking when you execute the command, the new voice does not affect the current speech.
If the revSetSpeechVoice command is executed while a speech is being spoken, the current speech is halted.
The revSetSpeechVoice command is part of the Speech library. To ensure that the command works in a standalone application, you must include this custom library when you create your standalone. In the Inclusions pane of the Standalone Application Settings window, make sure the "Speech" library checkbox is checked.
