Commands:

Name Description
StateInput: DevVoid
Output: State		 This command gets the device state (stored in its device_state data member) and returns it to the caller.
StatusInput: DevVoid
Output: DevString		 This command gets the device status (stored in its device_status data member) and returns it to the caller.
DevWriteInput: DevString
Output: DevVoid		 Write a message into the device server`s speech buffer.
DevTalkInput: DevString
Output: DevVoid		 Triggers the server to talk the actual speech buffer content.
DevSetParamInput: DevVarLongArray
Output: DevVoid		 Set some talkers`s configuration parameters (number of repeated talks and time of pause).
DevStopInput: DevVoid
Output: DevVoid		 Stop talking the actual speech buffer content.
DevReadInput: DevVoid
Output: DevString		 Read back the actual message.
DevClearInput: DevVoid
Output: DevVoid		 Clears the speech buffer of the talk server.
DevReadParamInput: DevVoid
Output: DevVarLongArray		 Read talker`s configuration parameters. (number of repeated loops and time of pause between 2 repeated speaks
DevRunInput: DevVoid
Output: DevVoid		 Start loop on speech buffer contents.
PauseInput: DevVoid
Output: DevVoid		 Pauses the voice and closes the output device, allowing access to pending speak requests from other voices. Calling Pause while the voice is not speaking increments the pause count and will put the voice into a paused state until Resume is called the same number of times. The voice maintains a pause count, so each call to pause must be balanced with a corresponding call to Resume.
ResumeInput: DevVoid
Output: DevVoid		 Resumes rendering. Decrements the pause count (which is incremented by Pause) if the voice is currently paused. If the pause count hits zero, Resume attempts to reclaim the output device and resumes rendering. This method has no effect if the voice was not in a paused state.
WriteWelcomeTextInput: DevString
Output: DevVoid		 To change the welcome text which will be spoken at the initialization of the server.
ReadWelcomeTextInput: DevVoid
Output: DevString		 Read the current welcome text which is spoken at the initialization of the server.
