Hi all
In case Sam's message did not go to list, I am sending it on.
I did as Sam directed below and I now have Envision AI working in my
preferred language and voice.
Cheers
Rhonda

Subject: Suppressing Language switching
Rhonda and all,
Please find information from Kapsys pertaining to this issue. Ironically,
you have to enable MultiLanguage support.:
I don't know why but some applications sometimes change the language of the
TTS.
On SmartVision2 there are 2 TTS engines :
. KAPSYS VOICES : this is the standard TTS engine with only 1 voice
synth selected at a time.
. MULTILANGUAGE : This is an second optional TTS engine(not
activated by default) which allows you to quickly switch from one speech
synthesis to another one (via a shortcut). Once activated, you can set-up up
to three languages.
By default, the following languages are set:
. Language 1: French
. Language 2: English
. Language 3: German
In this case, when you open ENVISION AI, the application seems to request a
TTS engine change from KAPSYS VOICES to MULTILANGUAGE language 1 (French)
automatically. It's not really logical but it's what happens.
So, to avoid this kind of problem, the only solution is to set language 1 of
MULTILANGUAGE in English.
To change it you have to :
1. long press MENU.
2. Press down several times in order to reach "Text to speech settings"
and validate with OK.
3. Select "Multilanguage" TTS engine and press OK to activate.
4. Select "Settings buttons" of Multilanguage and press OK.
5. Select "Voice language 1" and press OK.
6. Select your English voice and press OK.
7. Press Back 2 times in order to go back to Text to speech settings
8. Select "Kapsys voices" TTS engine and press OK to activate.
I hope this helps.

Hi Sam
Thanks, works for me.
While I have your attention, any ideas about getting the Envision AI app to
work without it automatically switching the TTS to that very hard to
understand, French accented voice? Think it is Vena.
It was working well til it updated a few weeks ago.
Cheers
Rhonda

Hi Rhonda,
Pressing either of the volume keys whilst the phone is ringing should give
you the option to explore the screen without the ringer in the background.

Hi all
I have caller ID audio on my phone but cannot hear it while the phone is
ringing.
Is there a way to mute the ring to hear the caller ID number before
answering?
I can do this on the old Nokia but can't find an option to do this on the
Smartvision 2.
TIA
Rhonda
