Voice Recorder
The Messenger 570’s voice enunciator uses a combined lexicon of high-quality
pre-recorded phrases and phrases that you record. The recording process
utilizes the multimedia capabilities of your computer – phrases are recorded on
your PC, then uploaded to the Messenger 570. This process produces superior
results and facilitates the commissioning of multiple units.
Voice Mode Reporting
When generating an input or an output report in voice mode the Messenger 570 system will compare each point’s
label name with a list of phrase names that make up the unit’s vocabulary. If an exact match is found, then the unit
will play the voice file associated with that phrase name. Each unit is preprogrammed with a list of permanent
phrases and voice files. In addition to these permanent phrases, the user has the ability to upload custom phrases and
voice files.
Custom Voice Phrases
It is possible for the user to upload 17 different custom voice phases into the Messenger 570 system. Sixteen of
these phrases can be up to 1.11 seconds long each and are used to create custom input and output reports in voice
mode. The 17th voice file can be up to 8.88 seconds long and is used as the sign-on greeting at the beginning of a
voice mode session. Creating these voice files and uploading them is a three-step process.
1)
RECORD: Each voice phrase is recorded as an individual .WAV file on your PC. The .WAV must be in a
PCM format at 22,050 Hz with 16-bit mono samples. Once you have recorded your phrases, you need to
make sure that they are not longer than the maximum time period allowed. (8.88 seconds for the greeting and
1.11 seconds for all other phrases.)
2)
COMPRESS: After you have your phrases recorded, you need to compress them. This is accomplished using
the voice utilities provided by Dancer Communications.
a) Create a directory that contains only your .WAV files.
b) Copy all of the voice utility files into this directory. (COMPALL.BAT, WS22.BAT, and
DBMAINBM.EXE)
c) Run COMPALL.BAT. This will convert each of the .WAV files into compressed .BIN files. A file named
VOXLIST.TXT that contains a list of all of your converted files and their sizes will be created.
3)
UPLOAD: Go online with the Messenger 570 system in data mode (either direct connect or via modem.) and
issue the VOX S command. You will be prompted for:
a) A phrase name. When generating a report in voice mode the Messenger 570 system will compare the
label names in the report to the voice phrase names. Any time a match occurs, the voice file associated
with that phrase will be vocalized.
b) A file size. This is the size of the .BIN file.
c) An X-modem upload of the compressed voice file itself. (The .BIN file).
d) Repeat. Each phrase and file should be uploaded.
