Two programs make up the Speech Client component. These are the AP Speak program and the AP Listener program. The AP Speak program interfaces with either the Microsoft Agent (if available) or the Microsoft SAPI interface and announces the received text using the installed text-to-speech engine. The AP Listener program intercepts and manages messages requested by the CA Automation Point server and invokes the AP Speak program to deliver one text-to-speech message at a time.
The AP Listener program is installed as part of the startup programs group. It should be running when you log in and remain running so that you do not miss any text-to-speech messages. The AP Listener icon displays in the Windows status area that is usually in the bottom right corner of your screen. To access help for CA Automation Point text-to-speech notification, right-click this icon and choose Help.
Neither the AP Speak program nor the AP Listener program requires additional configuration. The defaults should work under most circumstances. However, if you should need to change the default settings for the AP Listener program, you can do so.
The syntax for invoking AP Listener at the command line is:
aplisten [options}
where options are:
Specifies the TCP port number to listen on. The default port is 5700.
Note: Use caution when setting the port number. For the listener client and the AP server to communicate, this port (the listener port) must match the sender port on the AP server computer.
Specifies the maximum number of messages to put on hold in the message queue before any are rejected because the queue is full. The default maximum is 25.
Indicates whether to automatically dismiss a message after it has been delivered as speech. The default requires the user to explicitly dismiss the Microsoft Agent character by double-clicking it.
