RE: R6 VIBS script, take 1

Its a state machine.  4 advances to the previous candidate, or the previous race if its the first candidate.  6 advances to the next candidate, or next race if its the last candidate.  5 toggles the vote in for the current candidate.  As I said in the original message, the audio for the current candidate repeats until a key is pressed.
 
If there is something specific about the specific example that you didn't follow, I'll try to clarify.  It was supposed to be self-explanatory.  If there was something confusing about it, its important that I know what, specifically, was confusing.

What would be very helpful is to see a complete Logical Diagram for your intended VIBS dialogue by data field. 
 
RACE TITLE
VOTE FOR Statement
MEASURE TEXT
THEN ...
       To Vote for Candidate......Press 1,2,3...
        To Vote for YES/NO response.... Press 1,2
REPEAT of RACE TITLE
REPEAT of CANDIDATE selection or YES / NO response
 
Then we could respond to something specific with suggestions such as "don't repeat race title"
or Be sure and indicate Candidate Name prior to "press n" statement, etc.

Subject: R6 VIBS script, take 1

Here is a possible VIBS script for the straightforward case.  I would like your feedback.  I think it lends itself well to straight-party and vote-for-more-than-one, but I want to establish a baseline first.  Each paragraph in the script repeats until a key is pressed, with the exception of the first paragraph (the initial header for each race).  Voters do not have to listen to the complete message before hitting a key.  Thus, they can skip through candidates by repeatedly pressing 6.
 
One issue to think about.  A voter must to listen to each candidate in the race, even if the race is fully voted after the first candidate.  We could assign keys (say 7/9) to skip to the next and previous races thus "shortcutting" the candidates that they can't vote for anyway.  I'm not convinced that adding instructions to this effect each race is a "win" however.  I'd like some thoughts on this issue.
