1 4 Customizing Dragon NaturallySpeaking
Text-to-speech options (Preferred and higher editions)
Use the Text-to-speech tab to adjust the attributes of text-to-speech playback.
Changing these options only affects the current user; any other users keep their
existing settings.
Attributes
Volume: Adjusts the volume of text-to-speech playback.
Pitch: Adjusts the pitch of text-to-speech playback if supported by your version
of Text-to-Speech.
Speed: Adjusts the speed of text-to-speech playback.
Voice: Determines the voice to use for text-to-speech playback. You can select a
voice from the list if you have more than one installed on your system.
Preview
Enter or paste text in this box to preview text-to-speech playback.
Read text: Click Read Text to start playback of the text in the Preview box.
Unload text-to-speech
Removes the text-to-speech engine from memory. Dragon NaturallySpeaking loads
the text-to-speech engine the first time you use a text-to-speech command after
starting Dragon NaturallySpeaking. The text-to-speech engine should not affect
performance, so generally you will not need to unload it.
Restore defaults
Clicking this button restores the values of the Text-to-speech tab to what they were
when you installed Dragon NaturallySpeaking.
