3.3 ASUS POST Reporter™
This motherboard comes with the Winbond speech controller to support
the ASUS POST Reporter™ feature. This application provides vocal POST
messages and alerts to inform you of system events and boot status. In
case of a boot failure, the ASUS Post Reporter™ reports the specific
cause of the problem.
You may customize these POST messages using the Winbond Voice
Editor software included in the support CD that came with your
motherboard package. You can record your own messages to replace the
default messages.
