# Save, save

The Save (save) option of the Design Voice command lets you save speaker-definition options as Vals voice. You can modify any of the predefined voices, but you only can save the modifications as Vals voice. The following commands store a modified Betty voice in Val and then recall the modified voice:

[:nb][:dv sx m save ] Betty now sounds like a man. Val now has this voice.

[:nb] Bettys voice is back to normal.

[:nv] Vals voice sounds like Betty as a man.

Vals voice characteristics are retained until the TextToSpeechShutdown call is issued or a new save is done. You must reenter new voice characteristics for Val after successfully issuing a startup function.

Note
If you want to use the save option, leave a space between the option name and the trailing bracket; for example, [:dv save ].
