Question: Sometimes the playback sounds garbled, or mispronounces words or
numbers. What causes these issues?
Answer: Text-to-speech (TTS) software has improved in recent years, but it
hasn't achieved perfection. As a result, you can encounter differences between
the printed text and the audio playback. When differences occur, you can press
View Toggle to view the image of the page you are playing, or spell out any
words that are unclear, or request assistance from another person.
Here are examples of some differences that can occur:
Mathematical, currency, and scientic symbols can be misinterpreted. The
Reader is designed to convert text into speech, and is not intended for reading
primarily mathematical, scientic, or nancial data. In time stamps, such as 9:00,
the colon can be ignored, so that the number reads as nine hundred. Similarly,
in currency, the decimal or comma separator can be ignored. In some fonts, the
numeral 1 can be interpreted as the lower case letter L.
Abbreviations, such as PA for Pennsylvania, might not be interpreted correctly.
Latinates, such as e.g. and etc., might not be translated from the Latin.
Question: Why is the time shown as 13:00 instead of 1:00?
Answer: The Date and Time setting is set to a 24-hour clock. To display the
time in 12-hour format, go to the Basics menu, and select Date and Time.
Highlight Set Time, without opening it. Press the Options button. On the Time
Format menu, select 12-Hour Clock, and press OK.
