Dynamic text is used to control speech output from within the text. In order to use dynamic text, the text template must contain port assignments and scripting.
The following summarizes how dynamic text generates controls speech output:
A text template is created, containing port assignments and script.
The Text-to-Speech (TTS) device is configured. Two important things occur during configuration. The text template is assigned to the device and the Speech Synthesizer Output Data (SSOD) ports are loaded in the V+ Development System.
The developer uses the V+ Development System to create a design, matching SSOD ports in the design with the port assignments in the text template.
The end user controls the speech output by changing the SSOD port input values. Whenever the SSOD port values change, the speech changes to reflect the corresponding port assignments located in the text template.
See Using Dynamic Text for an illustration of this process.
Tip: Dynamic templates can be used with Dynamic text for almost unlimited real-time speech output possibilities.
