4.5 READING DOCUMENTS WITH THUNDER

Thunder can speak a whole document in one breath with no trouble. Press CAPSLOCK spacebar for Document Read

To stop reading, press LEFT or RIGHT ARROW keys and the cursor will stay at the point where you stopped reading.

Press CAPSLOCK SPACEBAR to start reading again. You can use this in most programs. Thunder may say "end of document" if you start your "document read" on a blank line so just ARROW DOWN to the next line then press CAPSLOCK SPACEBAR.

There are some special Thunder reading keys which let you keep your fingers on the home keys as typists are taught to do and the cursor will not move. These keys are for precision editing.

To read the line you are on in most situations, press CAPSLOCK L, but you can also ARROW UP or DOWN and back again to read the line.

To read the line to where the cursor is, press CAPSLOCK K.

To read the letter where the cursor is, press CAPSLOCK I.

To read the line just up to where the cursor is, press CAPSLOCK J.

CAPSLOCK F is handy for reading messages that appear on the screen such as "save as" before you name a document to be saved.

To read what is selected, press CAPSLOCK H.

CAPSLOCK O: read object

Such objects as Toolbars can be read by pressing CAPSLOCK O. However, this function is hardly ever used these days as Windows and Office accessibility has greatly improved.

If you don’t hear what’s spoken first time, you can quickly repeat the last thing you heard: press CAPSLOCK semicolon.

You can repeat and spell the last speech with CAPSLOCK SHIFT semicolon. You can repeat the last speech phonetically with ALT semicolon.
