button to change, then use the Up and Down buttons to select the display mode and
confirm your choice with the OK button.
Screen off: this feature dedicated to blind users allows to switch to a black screen and thus
hide the information displayed on the screen. This saves battery consumption and
preserves your privacy. By default, "Black Screen" is disabled.
Press the OK button to change. Confirm the screen shut-down by selecting "Yes" with the
Up and Down buttons and confirm with the OK button.
Good to know: This mode is only available when the "screen reader" function is activated (see
below).
Vocalization
This category groups the settings related to the vocalization of screens:
Screen Reader: enables or disables the playback of screens. By default, "Screen Reader”
is enabled. This means that each item you select with Up and Down buttons will be
vocalized. If you disable this function, MiniVision2 will no longer speak and you will no
longer have access to the other vocalization settings.
Premium voices: allows you to download Premium Voices of better quality. An internet
connection is required (Wi-Fi or 3G / 4G via wireless provider subscription).
o Download a Premium Voice: select "Premium Voices" and confirm with the OK
button. A confirmation screen appears. Select "Yes" to continue the download
process and confirm with the OK button. A new screen with the choice of
language type appears. Select "Male" to download a male voice or "Female" to
download a female voice and confirm with the OK button to start downloading the
new voice. When the download is complete, an installation screen appears.
Select “OK" on the screen and confirm with the OK button to install the voice on
the MiniVision2. Caution, vocalization is interrupted during the installation
process. The phone is ready to be used when the vocalization resumes.
Good to know: By default, MiniVision2 downloads the Premium voice corresponding to the
current language of the system. The types of voices proposed may vary depending on the
language of the system used. MiniVision2 only supports one Premium voice. It will therefore
uninstall the female voice if you want to use the male voice, and vice versa.
o Delete a Premium Voice: select "Premium Voices" and confirm with the OK
button. If a voice is already installed, a delete confirmation screen will appear.
Select "Yes" to delete and uninstall the voice and confirm with the OK button.
Caution, vocalization is interrupted during the deletion process. The phone is
ready to be used when the vocalization resumes.
Speed of Speech: allows you to adjust the speed of the voice. Nine speeds are available:
"Very slow", "Slow", "Normal", "Fast", "Faster", "Very fast", "Rapid", "Very rapid", "Fastest".
By default, "Normal" is selected. Press the OK button to change, then use the Up and
Down buttons to select another speed and confirm your choice with the OK button.
Good to know: You can also quickly change the speed of speech from any screen by using
keypad shortcuts Pound + 4 and Pound + 5 to respectively decrease or increase the speed
of the voice.
Wake up Speech: this feature allows you to announce certain information when you turn
on the MiniVision2 screen. Up to six items of information can be announced in addition to
the current time when you exit the sleep mode: “Current date”, “Battery level”, “Network
status”, “Number of missed calls”, “Number of new messages” and the availability of a “New
software update”. By default, "Battery Level", "Missed Calls", "New Messages" and "New
Software Updates" are selected. Press the OK button to edit. Then use the Up and Down
buttons to select the information you want to announce when you wake up and press the
OK button to activate it. Press the Back button to validate your changes.
Editor echo: allows you to define how the text entered in the edit boxes is announced. Four
types of echo are available: "No echo" (characters are not vocalized when you type text),
