Hello Littlekat, 1.15.1 Turning the Braille Display On or Off. To turn off the Braille display, hold down the NEXT thumb key, press SPACE, the n release both keys. The same key combination turns the Braille display on. K eySoft confirms the Braille display status by displaying "Braille display off" or "Braille display on." Note that if the Braille display is turned off when speech is off, speech is fo rced on. This avoids having both Braille and speech off simultaneously. The function to turn the Braille display Off is also available from the Options Menu, under Braille Display Options. 1.15.2 Turning Speech On or Off. There are three speech options: Speech On, Speech on Request and Speech Off. I f speech is currently on, hold down the PREVIOUS thumb key, press SPACE, then r elease both keys to select Speech on Request. KeySoft displays: "Speech on request." To select the next option, Speech Off, press the same key combination again. K eySoft confirms that speech is off by displaying "Speech off" only on the Brail le display. To turn Speech On again, press that key combination again. KeySof t displays: "Speech on." You are returned to where you started with Speech On. When the Speech on Request option is selected, KeySoft only speaks when you use a command that is a specific speech command. For example, in KeyWord, the wor d processor, when you move forward word-by-word using SPACE with dot 5, nothing is spoken. However if you use the dedicated "Speak Word under Cursor" command , SPACE with dots 2-5, the word under the cursor is spoken. Note that if speech is turned off when the Braille is off, the Braille display is forced on. This avoids having both Braille and speech off simultaneously. The function to select Speech On, Speech on Request, or Speech Off is also avai lable from the Options Menu, under Review Voice. 1.15.3 Start-up Braille and Speech Mode. BrailleNote may be forced to start in one of three modes when it is switched on . You may choose to start with Braille only, speech only, or both Braille and speech. This feature is very convenient if, for example, you have previously been using both Braille and speech, but you are now attending a meeting and for privacy y ou to start in the Braille only mode. To start with speech only, hold down dot 2 while powering on. To start with Braille only, hold down dot 3 while powering on. To start with both Braille and speech, hold down dots 2-3 while powering on. Isaac
