How to find the settings you need

All settings in SpeakOn are done from the relevant task Main menu.

 

The settings from the Manager's task menu are global which mean that these are settings that affect all tasks in SpeakOn. The global setting available so far are speech (synthesizer selection and pitch) and messages (various messages' verbosity).

 

There are 12 media tasks in SpeakOn and each one has its own settings where relevant. To specify these settings you need to start the relevant media task. For example, to set the username and password for Last FM, start the Last FM media task, bring the Main menu [Alt] (9) and select:

Settings > Last FM login information

The Login task starts. Enter your username and password and then select 'OK end task, return to Manager' from the Main menu. The Last FM media task ends and you are back in the Manager. Then start the Last FM task again and if your username and password are correct, Last FM starts to play. (You have to be a Last FM subscriber).

 

Similarly, to specify your TNAUK username and password, go to the VI Services task and in the menu select the relevant 'Username and Password' information menu item. (You need to specify the username and password for the eText and audio services separately.)

 

You will notice that after specifying some settings such as username and password for the various services, the task you are in ends and you are placed back in the Manager and need to start it again. This is done deliberately to ensure correct communication between SpeakOn and the relevant service.
