Alternative voices
This product takes advantage of the features of Google's pre-installed text-to-speech engine. If the voice used is not to your liking you can install a different text-to-speech engine directly from Google Play (the Android digital store) upon the addition of a Google account on the BOX. To add a Google account, insert a mouse (or use the supplied remote control) and navigate to Settings -> Accounts and then add your Google account. Among the text-to-speech engines on the market, Visel recommends Vocalizer TTS which provides voices in many more languages than the basic one. Each item can be purchased directly from the store or within the app itself at the price of about  4.00 each. To enable an alternative text-to-speech engine, simply go to Settings -> Language and Input -> Text-to-speech output and enable the alternative engine.
