Voice Synthesis Tab

settings_voice_synthesis_tab

Enable Voice Synthesis. Select the modes you would like to activate voice synthesis for. In Timer Mode PC Chrono can tell you how much time is left, in Stopwatch Mode it can inform you about how much time elapsed and current time is spoken at the beginning of every hour in Clock Mode.

Voice. Select a voice registered with Microsoft Speech API. You can download and install additional voices to be used on your computer from http://www.microsoft.com/msagent/downloads/user.asp or other websites. Please note that PC Chrono supports the language of the voice (all supported languages are listed in Languages combobox on General Tab)

Remind every <interval length>. Specifies the remind frequency in Timer and Stopwatch modes.

Automatically increase remind frequency flag will cause remind period to decrease as the timer reaches the end. For example, if the 15-min timer remind interval was initially set to "5 minutes", it will be re-set to "3 minutes" and "minute" when the time left is 5 and 3 minutes respectively. This setting affects Timer Mode only.
