For the bt, the way to stop speech is by hitting enter and backspace or keys 7 and 8 which is the same thing as enter and backspace depending on whether you are using 8 dot computer braille together. Hitting these two keys together with the first letter of any task on the main menu is also a quick way to change tasks, rather than going into the options menu and going to the change task feature. For example, if you are in your email folder and you want to go to the word processor, just hit back and enter together, along with the letter w, and "Vralah!. you are in keyword. Maybe you already knew this part though, but just hit back and enter together to stop speech. Do you also know how to prevent speech when you turn on your unit? Just write me on or off list, and I can tell you if you want to know. Hth Richard
