Product Activation

KeyStone SpeechTutor operates from the outset with default settings active.

To activate full functionality it is necessary to access the Activate Speech

Tutor menu item in the Help menu. To enable you to do this, you will require your product purchase details. If your product has been purchased from a reseller rather than direct from Words Worldwide Limited, you need to obtain the information from them. Otherwise you will have been provided with the necessary details from Words Worldwide with the product.

In the event that you require further assistance in fully activating the product, please contact Words Worldwide Limited by email at any time.

Product functionality

Please be aware that KeyStone SpeechTutor has no control over the microphone used for voice recognition or the speaker settings for text-tospeech output. The program is designed to check the quality of the microphone signal and/or to assist users to become familiar with voice recognition and speech-to-text synthesis, used in conjunction with each other.


14


Voice recognition and speaker settings must be made in the normal way within the particular products used. If SpeechTutor is expecting an utterance to be made then it will accept input from any suitable device which is correctly configured. If there is no result from an attempt, the voice recognition system settings or the microphone itself should be checked. Similarly, if SpeechTutor is set to produce sounds or text-to-speech output, their absence will be due to incorrect speaker settings or a failure of the text-to-speech system.
