Managing Text Jobs

When you click the Jobs tab in kttsmgr, the Jobs screen appears.


The KDE Text-to-Speech Manager (Jobs tab)

1

All of the text jobs currently in the queue are listed here, together with the application that queued the job, the current job state, number of sentences in the job, and current sentence number. The Talker ID corresponds to the ID column on the Talkers screen.

2

The buttons in this row permit you to start, delete, and pause text jobs. Select a job in the list above, then click one of these buttons.

3

The buttons in this row permit you to advance or rewind by sentence within the job selected in the list above. (Not all jobs have multiple parts.)

4

The buttons in this row permit you to speak the text currently in the KDE clipboard, or open a text file for speaking. You can also refresh the list of text jobs or change the talker for a job. See the section called “Selecting Talkers (Advanced)”.

5

The currently-speaking sentence appears here.

6

When you click OK, all changes to settings on other screens are applied (if any) and kttsmgr minimizes to the system tray. Click on the icon in the system tray to restore the screen.

7

Drag this divider to resize the jobs listing and Current sentence panels.

Note

The Jobs tab only appears when KTTSD is running. If you do not see the Jobs tab, click on the General tab and check the Enable Text-to-Speech (KTTSD) box.

Note

If you do not have the aRts audio subsystem installed, but you do have ALSA, GStreamer, or aKode installed, click the Audio tab. See the section called “Audio Settings”.

Note

Only Text jobs are listed and controlled on this screen. Screen Reader Output, Warnings, and Messages are not displayed. For more information about KTTS message types, see the section called “Filters (Advanced)”.
