===== 6.2.1.3. 音声設定 設定メニューの中やNVDA+CTRL+Vを押してアクセスできる音声設定ダイアログでは、読み上げ音に関するオプションが変更できます。 また、多くのオプションは、どこからでもNVDA+CTRLと矢印キーの一つを押すことで調整できます。 左右の矢印キーは複数の設定項目の間を移動し、上下の矢印キーで特定の設定項目の値を増加したり加減したりできます。 音声設定ダイアログには、以下のオプションが含まれています: ====== 音声 The first option that you land on in this dialog is a combo box listing all the voices of the current synthesizer that you have installed. You can use the arrow keys to listen to all the various choices. Left and Up arrow take you up in the list, while right and down arrow moves you down in the list. ====== Variant If you are using the Espeak synthesizer that is packaged with NVDA, this is a combo box that lets you select the Variant the synthesizer should speak with. ESpeak's Variants are rather like voices, as they provide slightly different attributes to the eSpeak voice. Some variants will sound like a male, somelike a female, and some even like a frog. Rate This option allows you to change the rate of your voice. This is a slider that goes from 0 to 100, (0 being the slowest, 100 being the fastest). Pitch This option allows you to change the pitch of the current voice. It is a slider which goes from 0 to 100, (0 being the lowest pitch and 100 being the highest). Volume This option is a slider which goes from 0 to 100, (0 being the lowest volume and 100 being the highest). Inflection This option is a slider that lets you choose how much inflection (rise and fall in pitch) the synthesizer should use to speak with. (The only synthesizer that provides this option at the present time is eSpeak). Speak All Punctuation This setting is a check box, that when checked, tells NVDA to speak all punctuation symbols as words (very useful for proof reading). When unchecked, NVDA leaves the punctuation unchanged, so the synthesizer will still read sentences with the right inflection, however the symbols won't be spoken aloud. Raise pitch for capitals This setting, if checked, will raise the pitch for capitals. Say "CAP" before capitals This setting is a check box, that when checked, tells NVDA to say the word "cap" before any capital letter, when arrowing over it or speaking it when its being typed. Usually, NVDA raises the pitch slightly for any capital letter, but some synthesizers may not support this well, so perhaps this option may be of use. Beep for capitals If this checkbox is checked, NVDA will make a small beep each time it encounters a capitalized character by itself. Like the 'say cap for capitals' checkbox, this is useful for Synthesizers that can't change their pitch for capital letters.
