Multiple Voice Languages

The PAC Mate Omni supports multiple voice languages by means of language modules that you can install when connected to your computer using ActiveSync. You can install as many languages as you wish assuming you have enough memory available. However, only two languages can be active at one time. Switching between the primary and secondary languages is easily accomplished by pressing S CHORD, L.

Language modules can be downloaded free of charge from the Freedom Scientific Web site. Note that installation of these modules does not result in changes to the installed braille translation tables or to the keyboard layout. These modules cause the PAC Mate Omni to speak in a different language.

To install a language module:

1. Ensure that you have your PAC Mate Omni connected by means of an ActiveSync session. This can be either a standard or guest connection.
2. Locate the language module file that you downloaded from the Freedom Scientific Web site and press DOT 8. This will begin the installation process. Follow the prompts.
3. After installation has completed, perform a warm reset on your PAC Mate Omni. Please see Performing a Warm Reset for details if you're not sure how to do this.

For information on setting the voice parameters for installed languages and for determining the language that is spoken when you press S CHORD, L, please see Adjusting Speech Settings for details.
