The attached
documents the stock audio clips for v4.x VIBS. There will be some
additions as functionality is added, especially write-ins, but this is the
core. Stock VIBS audio is now stored with the TSText on GEMS, so you don't
have to go through install machinations like with 3.x.
The stock audio in
TSText-1-18-3 was created with Microsoft text-to-speech so it doesn't sound very
good. It needs to be re-recorded with a human voice. I am not sure
who is responsible for VIBS service bureau work at the
moment.
The wording of each
clip was picked carefully to aid the "flow" of ballot navigation. Each
keypress option takes the form "to do X, press Y". Any improvements to
specific phrases would be welcome. "This race is fully voted" is one I
find pretty awkward. Maybe "you have cast all votes in this race" would be
better if longer. Etc.
Finally, I am open to just
about anything for the stock VIBS_Instructions. I had a tough time with
this one, because the system is supposed to be self-explainatory.
Instructions to the voter are implied at every step, so there isn't much to
say in the instructions. I am not sure whether people would find a long
instruction diatribe reassuring or annoying. That probably depends on
the voter.
