RE: Voice speed control on VIBS
Title: 
  
  
    A suggestion for controlling the 
    volume on the current units would be to use the star key (*) to reduce the 
    speed and the pound key (#) to increase the speed. This is based on the 
    assumption that those keys have no other functions on the VIBS unit. When 
    the next user inserts their smart card the speed should be set to the 
    default value.
  Dmitry has done some research into this (thanks Dmitry), and 
  estimates an implementation would take two weeks.   
 
This is complete.  Dmitry's 
 estimate of two weeks effort was dead on.  
 
The feature requires that Direct X is 
installed on the Ballot Station:
  Windows 98:   Direct X 7 
  is preinstalled.
  Win95:  Download Direct X 7 
  from Microsoft.  
  Windows NT 4:  Download Direct 
  X 3 from Microsoft.  
  Windows 2000:  Direct X 7 
  preinstalled (although we don't have any W2K Ballot 
  Stations).
Right now the release is only 
available as a seperate 3.13 branch for demos.  If El Paso or anyone else 
would like this as part of a standard release (and wants to do the testing), let 
us know and we'll do the merge.
