Pressing another key enters the previous character automatically, and no clicking noise is
made. This method allows you to find the letters on the numeric keypad more easily.
• When entering successive letters on the same key when using the “Announce final
character only method,” you need to pause until Trek announces the letter. For example,
to type the word, “cab”, you press key 2 three times, then pause until you hear, “c”, then
press it once, pause until you hear, “a”, then press it twice to type the last letter, “b”. You
do not need to pause to type successive letters that are on different keys. For example, to
enter the word, “mama”, you can press 6 2 6 2 as quickly as you like.
• Both text entry methods allow you to use the Bookmark key to toggle between Text, upper
case when applicable, and Numeric input types while entering your text to search.
• You may press the Sleep key to enter the Key Describer mode. Then press other keys to
announce their function including announcing the characters for each number key. Press
the Sleep key again to exit the Key Describer and return to Text Entry mode.
• To announce what you have typed, press the Fast Forward key.
• To erase the last character typed, press the Rewind key.
• To erase all the characters at once, press and hold the Rewind key until you hear a beep.
• When you finish typing, you can exit the text entry mode in 3 ways: Press Cancel to exit
without searching, or press Confirm or Play to start the search. Cancel will not affect any
previous search information.
• If you pressed the Confirm key, the Trek will position itself at the location of the found
search item and announce the line. If you pressed the Play key, it will move to the found
search item and start playing. The search is case insensitive. The search will find partial
words in which case it will position at the start of the word containing the search text.
Accented characters are not matched to non-accented characters or vice versa. A search
always starts from the current position in a book.
If searching a large file, you may hear “Please Wait” while the search is in progress. If you press
the Cancel key while searching, the search function is stopped, the current position remains at the
original starting position.
5.1.1 Search Next or Previous
• Upon finding the search item, Trek will add a Search item to the navigation levels of keys
2 and 8 and select that level automatically. So, upon finding the first occurrence of your
text, you can simply press keys 4 or 6 to find the previous or next occurrence. The previous
or next Search function will remain on the 2/8 key rotation until you close the book. You
can press key 4 or 6 to search for the previous or next item while in play or stop mode.
• If a search forward is performed and the end of the book is reached, the message "End of
book" will be announced and the search then continues from the beginning of the book
down to the original starting position of the search.
• If a search backward is performed and the beginning of the book is reached, the message
"Beginning of book" will be announced and the search then continues from the end of the
book up to the original starting position of the search.
• If no match is found, Trek will announce the search item was not found and return you to
the original starting position.
• When you open a new book, the previous search item is cleared.
5.1.2 Other types of text search

bookshelf.
