Text-to-speech (TTS) has arrived on the Brailliant BI X series.\\xa0
\\n\\xa0
\\nOur BI X braille displays are the first to include text-to-speech, bringing you one step closer to a hybrid note-taking experience. The latest update unlocks text-to-speech capabilities for the BI 20X and BI 40X braille displays introducing a limited number of voices, including English, French, and Spanish. HumanWare plans to later include the option to download voices in other languages in the future.

\\nWhat to expect with this new update?
\\nWhen you update your Brailliant BI X, text-to-speech will be enabled according to your system language. If your system language is English, Spanish or French, it will be selected by default for the text-to-speech.

\\nNew options menu item called \\u201cSpeech settings\\u201d
\\nUpon installing the update, a new Speech settings item will appear under the Options menu. This new sub-menu will allow you to turn on and off various text-to-speech options and select your voices.
