You can either select a variable for the text or enter the text
directly. The variable can be a local variable or a tag. The length
of the text is not limited. All characters are allowed.
If the text is in a file, the folder var. can be specified (handled
like wav-files). If no folder is specified, the folder defined in the
Windows registry is used.
There are several options for selecting an announcement file.
Recommendation: For flexibility and maintenance reasons, we
recommend that you always use variables for the folder if you
are not working with the standard folder.
You enter a file name. The folder defined in the Windows
registry under PathMsgTTS is used as folder.
Example:
File: xyz.txt
