Vocera Multiple Speech Pack Release Notes

Version 1.2.1.50

Updated: April 20, 2021

About Multiple Speech Packs

Vocera enables you to customize Vocera Voice Server for different locales. When you install the Vocera Localization Suite, speech recognition behavior, genie prompts, and the telephony dial-plan are modified to reflect the locale conventions. Localization packs also assist with speech recognition by allowing you to adjust your environment with the selection of a single accent.

However, many environments require more than one English accent to be considered. In diverse environments like this, Vocera allows you to install the Vocera Multiple Speech Pack (MSP) as well as a Vocera Localization Suite to extent the number of available accents to more than a single selection.

Note: Vocera Multiple Speech Pack 1.2.1 supports the installation of 2 English accents in addition to accent in the previously installed Localization Pack.

The lists below displays the available selections from the Multiple Speech Pack:
