| Hello all,
Just wondering as I just started using MUSSHClient and the MUSHReader plugin if there's any way to get it working with the built -in Windows Narrator. I'm currently using NVDA just for MUSHClient and it works fine but the reading speed is limited to compared to what I'm used to in Narrator.
If this isn't possible Ican look for a way to increase the speed in NVDA.
Thanks!

| Does Windows Narrator use SAPI? If it does, maybe the SAPI plugin included with mushclient as Text_To_Speech.xml? |

| I tried Narrator and couldn't see how to interface with it. However the plugin Text_To_Speech which ships with MUSHclient works, lets you choose one of two voices, and lets you speed up spoken output. |

| Fiendish, Nickc thank you for the responses. I remember trying both of those plug-ins and getting speech but not from Narrator. It's nice to know I wasn't missing something.
Nick, as to the plug-in you mentioned, how do you change the settings? Is it a command I need to use, or is there a menu or do U need to take a look at the XML file? | Top |

| Type in "sapi help" and it will read out the options. They are:
sapi on : turn on automatic speaking of MUD output.
sapi off : turn off automatic speaking of MUD output.
sapi skip : skips one sentence in output stream.
sapi clear : clear the speech output queue.
sapi faster : speeds speech up.
sapi slower : slows speech down.
sapi rate [number] : set speech rate to [number].
sapi list voices : list the available TTS voices.
sapi voice [number] : switch to the given TTS voice number.
sapi test : speak a test phrase.
sapi punctuation [number] : set punctuation filtering level to [number].
sapi say [text] : speak the given text.
You can make a macro (see world configuration -> Input -> Macros) to save having to actually type those commands out. For example, you might make F2 send "sapi faster". |
