There are multiple speech profiles to choose from. You can cycle through the speech profile selections to audition them before selecting one
The outgoing text message will appear yellow in the chat window when it has been converted to speech
Text-to-Speech conversions are sent in the same language they are created with
Converted text chat messages are audible to all players in BATTLEMODE 2.0 lobbies and only audible to Demon teammates during matches

Per-pixel Brightness Velocity: Limits how rapidly the brightness of each pixel can change, such as during explosions or intense combat sequences
