        "content": "To open the *Settings* on the **Orbit Speak** (by Orbit Research) and adjust book reader settings (or any settings), here\u2019s what the user guide says and how you can navigate to what you need. ([orbitresearch.com](https://www.orbitresearch.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Orbit-Speak-User-Guide-v0.5.pdf?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n### How to Open the Settings App\n\n1. Go to the **Home screen**  \n   Press **Space + Dots 1-2-3-4-5-6** to switch to the Home screen. ([orbitresearch.com](https://www.orbitresearch.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Orbit-Speak-User-Guide-v0.5.pdf?utm_source=openai))\n\n2. Open **Settings**  \n   - Navigate through the Home screen menu items to find **Settings**, or  \n   - Type the letter **S** on the Perkins-style braille keyboard to jump directly to **Settings**. ([orbitresearch.com](https://www.orbitresearch.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Orbit-Speak-User-Guide-v0.5.pdf?utm_source=openai))\n\n3. Enter a Settings category  \n   Once Settings is open, you\u2019ll hear \u201cGeneral Options, O\u201d (that\u2019s the first category).  \n   Use the **Up** and **Down** arrow keys to move through the list. Press **Select** to enter a category. ([orbitresearch.com](https://www.orbitresearch.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Orbit-Speak-User-Guide-v0.5.pdf?utm_source=openai))\n\n4. Close Settings  \n   Press **Space + Dots 1-3-5-6** (also known as Space + Z) to exit Settings and return to whatever you were doing. ([orbitresearch.com](https://www.orbitresearch.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Orbit-Speak-User-Guide-v0.5.pdf?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\n### Where to Find Book Reader\u2013Related Settings\n\nWithin Settings, several categories may be relevant to displaying or reading books. These include:\n\n- **General Options** \u2014 for broad behavior and interface preferences. ([orbitresearch.com](https://www.orbitresearch.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Orbit-Speak-User-Guide-v0.5.pdf?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Speech Options** \u2014 adjust voice, speed, and other speech output settings. ([orbitresearch.com](https://www.orbitresearch.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Orbit-Speak-User-Guide-v0.5.pdf?utm_source=openai))  \n- **Date and Time Options, Advanced Options** \u2014 less likely but possibly useful depending on your needs (for example, time formats or locale settings). ([orbitresearch.com](https://www.orbitresearch.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Orbit-Speak-User-Guide-v0.5.pdf?utm_source=openai))  \n\nIf you're specifically trying to adjust how books are read (scroll speed, voice, how formatting is handled), **Speech Options** or **General Options** are the most likely places. ([orbitresearch.com](https://www.orbitresearch.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Orbit-Speak-User-Guide-v0.5.pdf?utm_source=openai))\n\n---\n\nIf you tell me exactly which *book reader setting* you\u2019re trying to adjust (e.g. voice, speed, layout, formatting), I can give more precise steps!"

        "content": "I checked the latest manual for the **Orbit Speak** and updated the info. Here\u2019s what I found about opening *Settings* and adjusting *Book Reader*-related settings:\n\n---\n\n### What\u2019s in the Latest Manual\n\n- The most recent version of the manual is **Orbit Speak User Guide v0.16**, released on **October 28, 2025**. ([orbitresearch.com](https://www.orbitresearch.com/support/orbit-speak-user-guide-downloads/?utm_source=openai))  \n- There\u2019s also a previous version, **v0.5**, which covers *Speech Options*, *Date & Time Options*, *Bluetooth & Wi-Fi Settings*, etc. ([orbitresearch.com](https://www.orbitresearch.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Orbit-Speak-User-Guide-v0.5.pdf?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n### How to Open Settings (According to the Manual)\n\n- In the manual, under the \u201cOpen Settings\u201d section, it says you can access the Settings app by pressing the **\u201cS\u201d key** on the braille keyboard. ([device.report](https://device.report/manual/15608369?utm_source=openai))  \n- Once in Settings, you use the Up and Down arrow keys to navigate through categories (like *General Options*, *Speech Options*, etc.). ([orbitresearch.com](https://www.orbitresearch.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Orbit-Speak-User-Guide-v0.5.pdf?utm_source=openai))  \n- To change values inside a settings category, use Left and Right arrows. To save, press **Select**. To cancel without saving, press **Space + Dots 1-3-5-6**. ([orbitresearch.com](https://www.orbitresearch.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Orbit-Speak-User-Guide-v0.5.pdf?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\n### Book Reader Settings\n\n- Orbit Speak has a **Book-Reader mode**, which is meant for reading books and files from the SD card. ([orbitresearch.com](https://www.orbitresearch.com/products/blindness-products/braille-devices/orbit-speak/?utm_source=openai))  \n- Settings that affect reading are under *Speech Options*. In this section you can change:\n  * Speech engine (e.g., Runa TTS by AccessMind or Google TTS)  \n  * Speech language  \n  * Voice  \n  * Speech rate  \n  * Pitch  \n  * Volume ([orbitresearch.com](https://www.orbitresearch.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Orbit-Speak-User-Guide-v0.5.pdf?utm_source=openai))  \n\n---\n\nIf you tell me which exact setting you meant (voice, speech speed, format, etc.), I can walk you through it step by step with keyboard commands from the manual."

        "role": "assistant",
        "content": "Here\u2019s what I found in the *Orbit Speak* manual about changing the voice used *specifically* in the Book Reader mode. Unfortunately, the manual doesn\u2019t currently support per-book or per-reader app voice settings different from the global voice. All voice settings are shared across Book Reader mode and the rest of the device speech.\n\n---\n\n### What the Manual Says\n\nFrom the *Orbit Speak User Guide v0.5 / v0.8*:\n\n- In *Speech Options*, you can change the following settings that affect *all speech* on the device (including the Book Reader mode):  \n  \u2022 Speech engine (such as Runa TTS by AccessMind, or Google TTS) ([orbitresearch.com](https://www.orbitresearch.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Orbit-Speak-User-Guide-v0.5.pdf?utm_source=openai))  \n  \u2022 Speech language ([orbitresearch.com](https://www.orbitresearch.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Orbit-Speak-User-Guide-v0.5.pdf?utm_source=openai))  \n  \u2022 Voice (specific voice selection under the chosen engine and language) ([orbitresearch.com](https://www.orbitresearch.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Orbit-Speak-User-Guide-v0.5.pdf?utm_source=openai))  \n  \u2022 Speech rate, pitch, and volume ([orbitresearch.com](https://www.orbitresearch.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Orbit-Speak-User-Guide-v0.5.pdf?utm_source=openai))  \n\n- All of those settings are in *Settings \u2192 Speech Options*. ([orbitresearch.com](https://www.orbitresearch.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/10/Orbit-Speak-User-Guide-v0.5.pdf?utm_source=openai))\n\n- There's **no mention** in the manual of having separate voices for specific apps (like Book Reader) or being able to override the global voice just for reading books. So your choice in Speech Options applies everywhere.  \n\n---\n\n### What That Means for Book Reader Voice\n\nSince the voice setting is global:\n\n- Whatever engine, language, and voice you pick in *Speech Options* will be used in *Book Reader* mode.  \n- There\u2019s **no provision** to pick a different voice *just for* Book Reader according to what\u2019s described in the manual.\n\n---\n\nIf you like, I can check online if there have been updates or community hacks that enable per-app/per-book voice settings for Orbit Speak, in case Orbit Research expanded features after the last manual version. Do you want me to look for that?"
