RE: Add separate initial instruction text file to VIBS write-in section
Okay, but understand
that what I am proposing to play both VIBS_WI_Welcome
and VIBS_WI_Instuctions at the beginning, rather than
instead of. Its just more consistent with the
way the main instructions work. One real problem with doing the instead of approach
is backward compatibility. Setups with old TSText will continue to work
fine if we play both -- they'll just not have the greeting/elaboration. I
would prefer to do it that way if it works for you.
Can you work inside
this framework? If VIBS_WI_Instuctions is a synopsis of VIBS_WI_Welcome,
it might be a bit redundant playing them both the beginning.
Please post the script you had in mind. I need something to put into our
TSText package at least initially.

Glad
to hear it.
Actually, this will allow me to get some detailed initial instructions in, without having them repeat throughout the write-in
session. This will be a big help, I hope. I am looking to give a fairly
detailed instructions set at first, then once a voter presses a key to select
a letter, the instructions would revert to a brief
version. The brief version would be repeated then, throughout the
rest of the write-in session.

Not too difficult. It worked

just one instruction clip
because it didn't seem worth it. We can
concatenate a
VIBS_WI_Welcome with VIBS_WI_Instuctions at the beginning.
That is, until
the user presses their first key. Only VIBS_WI_Instructions
would
repeat after that. This is analogous to the main VIBS welcome
and
instructions.
I have to ask though, what would this script
actually say? "Welcome to the
audio ballot write-in entry"???
Are you sure that is worth the breath?
