<p>
|
|
The <gui>Enable speech</gui> check box controls whether or not
|
|
<app>Cthulhu</app> will make use of a speech synthesizer.
|
|
Braille-only users will likely want to uncheck this checkbox.

<title>Verbosity</title>
|
|
<p>
|
|
The <gui>Verbosity</gui> setting determines the amount of information
|
|
that will be spoken in various situations. For example, if it is set
|
|
to verbose, and you arrow into a word that is misspelled, <app>Cthulhu</app>
|
|
will announce that the word is misspelled. When the level is set to brief,
|
|
this announcement will not be made.

<title>Punctuation Level</title>

<p>
|
|
The <gui>Punctuation Level</gui> radio button group is used to
|
|
adjust the amount of punctuation spoken by the synthesizer. The
|
|
available levels are <gui>None</gui>, <gui>Some</gui>, <gui>Most</gui>,
|
|
and <gui>All</gui>.

<section id="punctuation_level_none">
|
|
<title>None</title>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Choosing a punctuation level of <gui>None</gui> would, as you expect,
|
|
cause no punctuation to be spoken. Note, however, that special symbols
|
|
such as subscripted and superscripted numbers, Unicode fractions, and
|
|
bullets are still spoken at this level, even though some might consider
|
|
these types of symbols punctuation.

Choosing a punctuation level of <gui>Some</gui> causes all of the

previously-mentioned symbols to be spoken. In addition, <app>Cthulhu</app>

The following items control the presentation of a variety of
