Here's a bit of updated info. We've changed our website to WWW.EarlSpeech.com/ [email protected] [email protected]
in the upcoming release, we've added a Quick Guide intro screen as well to help folks get oriented to the tap and speak interface. here's the info it will include: Welcome to Earl! Please listen carefully. This quick guide will help you get started using Earl. You will not see any text, buttons, or controls. The content of each screen will be read to you out loud. . To have Earl read any screen again, including this quick guide, double tap the screen with 1 finger, wait until you hear an ascending tone, and clearly say. READ AGAIN. To select an item from any list, double tap the screen, wait for the tone, and speak any word in the name of the option. Or. Speak the number of the option. To learn more about available commands, gestures, or other help options, double tap the screen, wait for the tone, and say. HELP. Now you are ready to begin using Earl. Do you want to hear this quick Guide the next time Earl starts? To make your selection and start using Earl, double tap the screen, wait for the tone, and say 1. yes. 2. no. To read this Quick Guide again, double tap the screen, wait for the tone, and say. READ AGAIN. Look for us at the C-Sun Conference.
