[comp.sys.next] closed captioned nextation?

ks3l+@andrew.cmu.edu (Kenton Shaver) (04/26/91)

What is involved to force the nextstation to caption?  A deaf guy isn't
in any luck when the cpu starts talking to him.  Is the intro program
(the one that moves the pointer around a comments on things) synthesized
or is it a timed recording?  Can anyone help me on this?  Of course if
it's synthesized, then getting at the text is a matter of hacking.

In the case of system alerts, such as the printer running out of paper,
there is a preference within the Preferences application to turn on/off
voice alerts.  W/voice alerts off, the system pops a dialog box
explaining what is going on (it does this normally as well, but there is
a delay between voice -> dialog box).

The guided tour is narrated w/digitized sound.
