If they're both on, both speech and Braille will read all, and if one is on, then only that one is used to read text with. As far as to when you know a process is complete, that depends on the process. You may be told "[process] complete" without the quotes, where [process] is one of the processes for which you receive such a prompt upon its completion, such as a download, in which case you would be told "download of [file] complete", where [file] is obviously the file you finished downloading. In operations with the file manager, you'll probably be told "[number] file(s) [processed]" without the quotes, where [number] can be 1 or greater, depending on whether you used wildcard characters or not. The same holds true as to whether you'll be told "file" or "files", and [processed] can be any of the processes (erased/copied/moved/protected/unprotected/imported/exported/renamed). In other instances, such as when saving a Web page, you'll be told "saved". In most cases, you'll simply be returned to the place you left off when the process is complete; for example, if you close out of a file, you may be prompted with the KeyWord Menu, Main Menu, first prompt of a task to which you are switching, or a "Document Name?" prompt if you have issued the command to close one document and switch to another. In other instances, you may simply be returned to the current "screen"; for example, after you have added a favorite in the Web browser, you're simply returned to the Web page you were on when you executed the command.
