2.67 emacsvox-aural-voice-workbench

A single accessible workbench presents logical voices, physical inventory, engines, and portable style/effect information. Transactional previews use the same sample text without changing saved palettes or routing profiles.

2.67.1 Emacsvox-Aural-Voice-Workbench Commands

2.67.1.1 emacsvox-aural-prefer-engine

Command: emacsvox-aural-prefer-engine (engine-id &optional save)
C-e d e
Prefer ENGINE-ID globally while preserving explicit voice routes.

By default the change lasts for this Emacs session.  With prefix argument
SAVE, atomically save it in the active routing profile.  Remaining engines
keep their relative order; explicit logical-voice routes and fallback policy
are unchanged.  When no profile has been saved yet, the live adapter policy
becomes an in-memory baseline; SAVE explicitly persists that baseline.  The
command does not stop speech already playing.

(fn ENGINE-ID &optional SAVE)

2.67.1.2 emacsvox-aural-restore-saved-engine-order

Command: emacsvox-aural-restore-saved-engine-order
Clear the temporary preference and restore the saved or initial order.

Command: emacsvox-aural-voice-workbench (&optional view)
Open the accessible Voice Workbench in VIEW.

(fn &optional VIEW)

In addition to any hooks its parent mode
‘emacsvox-aural-tabulated-mode’ might have run, this mode runs the
hook ‘emacsvox-aural-voice-workbench-mode-hook’, as the final or
penultimate step during initialization.
