Update Your Software To 2.39!

Let’s see what’s new for the NovaChat line of devices in update version 2.39.

Voices

• Acapela has added new voices to include more diverse child and adult options. You can find these in the Speech Output section of the Application Settings, under Voice.
  • Malik (African American male child)
  • Tiana (African American female child)
  • Constance (French female adult)

 Grammar Feature

• Another new setting has been added to the Speech Output section labeled Grammar.
  • When Grammar is unchecked, it will only speak the initial hit of the present tense and then speak the grammatically correct word ending when the full message is spoken.
  • When this is enabled, it will say the present tense on the initial hit and then say the new form of the word after you select the word ending. This is how it spoke before this setting was added.
