Changing the way links are announced
HPR has 4 options for link announcement:
- Midi ping: a ping sound announces each link.
- None: links are not announced.
- Voice change: A female voice is used to announce a link.
- Text: The word, "link", is spoken before the link itself.
By default, HPR uses voice change to announce links; text is spoken in a male voice and links are spoken in a female voice.
