How do I Import a Sound File into Accent?
About Importing Sound Files to Store on your Overlay
Use the USB Flash Drive or SD Card to import sound files for easiest transfers.
You can import mp3, wav and wma sound files into your device and store them under an icon or an icon sequence. You can then activate the sequence and hear the sound you stored.
When you store sound files on your overlay, they are stored as speech.
This means that they act exactly as if you had recorded and stored them as vocabulary messages.
For example, if you store a 3-minute song under an icon sequence, you cannot use your communication aid for anything else until the song is finished. In this case, it would be wiser to listen to the song using the MP3 PLAYER MENU or to store one of the music tools that allows you to link to songs, than to store them on your overlay as speech.
Some sounds, though, are fun to have on your overlay: laughter, clapping, animal noises, etc. They don't take up much memory and they make conversation interesting.
To Store a Sound File on your Overlay:
1. If you will be importing sound files from a removable drive, make sure it is plugged into the device.
2. Go to the Toolbox and select STORE CORE.
3. Select the icon or icon sequence you want to use and select OK.
4. If you select a sequence that has a word or phrase associated with it, you can keep the word or phrase and store the sound file with it, or you can delete the word and just have the sound file. If you keep it, you might want to add something to the icon label to remind you the sound file is there, too.
5. Select Recorded
6. Select the Import Sound File option.
7. You see the sound files on your removable drive or your hard drive, whichever is listed. Select the file you want to store or select a different folder that contains the file you want. Select OK.
8. When the sound has been transferred, your device returns you to the Toolbox. Select GO TO HOME.
9. Select the icon(s) you used for your sound file.
10. You should hear the file
