"The Voice"
"The Voice" is the name given to the disembodied voice acting as the announcer in the Bejeweled series. The Voice makes a positive response whenever a move that scores a large amount of points is made. The Voice will also announce the mode selected, time remaining in gameplay, and announce ending events such as the depletion of the timer or the exhaustion of possible moves.
Compliments
After a good move, the game may make a positive response pop up in large text over the board complementing the voice's audio feedback encouragement. The Voice also provides lines for when specific events happen during the game, such as when the game starts and ends, and when a level is completed.
