SPEAK SENTENCE
When you activate this Tool, your device speaks the message that contains the cursor. This is
helpful if you want to hear how something you are working on sounds before you store it. It is
also useful if you are going to give a speech or presentation. People seem to understand
synthesized speech better when they hear it one sentence at a time until they are used to listening
to it. This Tool works whether speech is On or Off.
SPEAK TIME
Your device will speak the time if the current date and time have been set in the Clock Menu.
SPEAK WORD
When this Tool is activated, your device speaks the last word you typed on your spelling overlay,
or the last word you brought up in Minspeak
®
mode. If you are typing in Spell mode, you can
turn speech Off (so you don't have to listen to your device speak each letter) and type the word.
Then you can activate this key and the word you typed will be spoken.
