3.11.2 Where am I for Audible books
For Audible books, if you press Where am I (key 5) twice, the Stream will announce additional
information about the book. If you don't want to hear the information press Play to interrupt
announcement and return to playback.
3.12 Multi-Voice Text to Speech (TTS)
The English versions of Stream have two text-to-speech voices and the non English versions
have an English and local language voice. You can toggle from one voice to another by pressing
and holding key 7.
3.13 Audio, Text, and Random Music Playback Modes — Key 9
There are two types of Playback modes available: Recorded audio and Text-To-Speech (TTS).
For DAISY or NISO books with full text/full audio, use the 9 key to switch back and forth between
the recorded audio and the same position in the equivalent electronic text. The synchronization
depends on the book producer but typically text and audio are synchronized to the paragraph or
sentence element.
The last used playback mode is saved between reading sessions. Only the modes available for
the selected book will be available for selection with the 9 key. If the book is only recorded or only
text then the appropriate mode is automatically selected and the 9 key has no choices available.
When playing Music you can press key 9 to enable random play and press key 9 again to disable
random play. If you are playing a permanent or temporary playlist, that playlist will be
randomized.
3.14 Confirm, Lock and Cancel — Pound and Star keys
The Pound key allows you to confirm an operation or end a numeric entry such as a page
number or a text entry such as a text search item.
The Star key allows you to cancel an operation. If you press and hold the Star key it will also lock
the key pad. To unlock, press keys 1, 2, and 3 in sequence. There is one exception to the
keyboard locking and it is the hard reset. This will always be available so although holding down
the Power key for 2 seconds will not power down the player, keeping the key held for the
required hard reset time of 7 seconds will still perform a hard reset.
3.15 Info — Key 0

the information.

press key 4 or 6 to move backward or forward through the items. You can also press the Info (0)
key repeatedly to move through each item.
To cancel the Info messages, press the Star or Play keys.
You may also press and hold the Info key to enter and exit Key Describer Mode.
While the information items are announced, the Key Describer Mode cannot be activated.
