Check your Recording
1. Press Speech Record button 1
This will replay your list exactly as you recorded it. If any words are missing at the
end, you have run out of memory space. You will have to record again, speaking a
little faster, or abbreviating the labels. Don't shorten the pauses as Amber will
not be able to keep track of the ends of the words. If necessary the recording time
can be extended (see... in the User Manual).
2. If you are happy with your recording, press the SELECT button and
hold it for about one second.
Amber will begin to speak. If Amber does not speak even though it was OK in test 1
above then you have probably left too long a pause before you started speaking.
Record again starting immediately you press Speech Record Button 1.
3. As soon as you have heard the first word (Television), press the
SELECT button again. Watch the BUSY light.
Amber will play the complete column with one second pauses inserted between each of
the words.
The BUSY light will go out during each pause. If it stays on between two words, this
means that your pause between those two words was too short. If it goes out
during a word, you either hesitated or dropped your speech level and Amber has
interpreted that as the end of a word.
If Amber does not recognise the pauses between your words correctly, simply repeat
the recording process until you get it right.
4. When you are happy with the recording, move on and repeat the
process for the other 3 columns.
e.g. Video, on, play, etc.
Stereo, on, mute, etc.
Appliances, light, heater, etc.
Check each recording as you go.
5. When recording is completed, unplug the microphone
