I have a question about VisioVoice. I'm new to it and have been
having a play, my intention is to introduce it to my visually
impaired students. Is there a trick in viewing a webpage? What I'm
finding is this...
I have the text enlarger window open on the side and then run my
mouse over a webpage. The enlarged text appears in the enlarger
window however not the whole text. By that I mean I can only see
part of the paragraph. In the text enlarger window I can see
there's a scroll bar, however as soon as you move the mouse to grab
the scroll bar of course all text disappears.
I have tried resizing the text enlarger window, but this simply
creates a different view of the text with the same result.
There are a few things you can do:
1. You an turn on the talking interface so that the text is spoken
and not only displayed in the Text Enlarger window. The full text
will be spoken, not only the part visible in the Text Enlarger window.
2. You can lock the text in the Text Enlarger, by default this is
with control-shift-L I believe (but see the shortcuts preferences in
VisioVoice for details). Once the text is locked you can use the
scroll bar of the Text Enlarger to scroll through the text. When you
are done you use the same hot key combo to unlock the text again.
3. You can make the Text Enlarger window larger.
In the future I plan to add other ways such as auto-scrolling to
facilitate reading text in the Text Enlarger that does not fit.
Hope this helps,
david.
