Voice Alternatives
This product takes advantage of the capabilities of Google’s preinstalled text-to-speech engine. If the voice you use is not to your liking you can install a different text-to-speech engine directly from Google Play (the Android digital store) after adding a Google account on the BOX. To add a Google Account, enter a mouse (or use the included remote control) and navigate to Settings -> Accounts and then add your Google Account. Among the text-to-speech engines on the market, Visel recommends Vocalizer TTS, which provides voices in many more languages than the basic one. Each item can be purchased directly from the store or within the app itself for the price of about € 4.00 each one. To enable an alternative text-to-speech engine, simply go to Settings -> Language -> Text-to-Speech Output and enable the alternate engine.
