Advanced Voice Operation Features and Details


Microphone Sensitivity

A three-position microphone sensitivity control is located inside the battery compartment. The sensitivity as shipped should be optimal for most users. However, you can make the microphone either more or less sensitive. Making the microphone more sensitive will make the Accenda more responsive to your instructions, but also more sensitive to background sounds such as the TV or other people talking. Making the microphone less sensitive will make the Accenda less sensitive to background noises but also less sensitive to your voice, so you will need to speak louder.

External Microphone

For optimum results when using the Accenda hands-free, you may use the optional external lapel microphone. To use the microphone, simply plug it into the microphone jack located on the side of the remote control.

Erasing, then re-training voice instructions after switching to the external microphone is strongly recommended. You may wish to change the microphone sensitivity switch inside the battery compartment.

Disabling Word Spotting

If you do not wish to use Word Spotting, you may turn it off by pressing [SHIFT] followed by [TV/VCR]. The last selected source button will flash once when Word Spotting is turned off. You may turn Word Spotting back on by pressing [SHIFT] followed by [TV/VCR] again. The source button will flash twice when Word Spotting is turned on.

You may also disable Word Spotting by deleting the keyword.

Accenda Prompts

The Accenda Remote Control gives you a visual indication of its status through its front panel lights, while friendly "voice prompts" talk you through the process of setting up keys the way you want. Following is a summary of the voice prompts Accenda will provide:
