The voiceOver attribute enables easy, automated narration of instructions and other text. The feature can be used to provide voice-only presentation of instructions, or both visual and voice presentation. The command includes optional arameters for choosing the language, gender, age, and speed of the voice to use for reading text. Inquisit will search for the best fit, prioritizing the attributes in the previously stated order. If no optional parameters are specified, the machine's default voice is used.
