VBVFrame Language Setup Page

Number Format

Specify the default number system used by a language (English, Italian, French, and German are built into VBVoice).

Time Format

(TimeFormat property)

Specify how the time is vocalized: either in 12-hour (e.g. eleven fifty-nine PM) or 24- hour format (e.g. twenty-three fifty-nine).

Date Order

(DateOrder property)

DateOrder is a project-wide setting that defines the order in which the component parts of dates are vocalized. Note that the components of the date to be vocalized (day, month, year, weekday) and the format (numeric month, month name, etc.) are defined by each individual phrase.

Custom Language ProgID

Pronexus distributors use this field to create custom language DLLs for VBVoice.

TTS Speaker

This field is used to select the Speaker for the TTS engine (SayText prompts) for a language. Every speaker supplied by an engine is typically designed for one language.

Dictionary

VBVoice supports RealSpeak Telecom User Dictionary. Using the Dictionary field, you can specify a custom dictionary for your application. VBVoice loads the TTS engine with this dictionary, and keeps it enabled until the TTS session is finished and the engine is released. You can also change this custom dictionary at runtime, using the Language control.

For more information and to learn how to build a custom dictionary, refer to Using a User Dictionary in the RealSpeak Telecom V3 programmer's guide.
