5.4 THUNDER’S STOP AND REPEAT SPEECH

STOP SPEECH

However useful speech is, there are times when you need to silence it.

Press the CONTROL key to stop it instantly at any time in every situation. It will start up when you next press a key.

To silence speech for a while as you listen to an audio file or radio station, hold down SHIFT with CAPSLOCK ALT and press M (mute). To hear speech again, press any Thunder keystroke such as CAPSLOCK L.

You can also turn down the volume to Zero on your speakers if they have a volume knob or hold down ALT and dab at TAB until you hear Thunder. Press ALT F4. You will be asked to confirm that you really do want to close Thunder down and lose speech. Press ENTER if you do and ESCAPE if you don’t. If you turn off speech in this way you will have to restart your computer to get the speech back. See section 5.11 "Sharing your computer with other people".

REPEAT SPEECH

Even the most experienced speech users sometimes miss what’s been spoken first time. Try the following:

Repeat last speech: CAPSLOCK SEMICOLON.

Repeat and spell last speech: CAPSLOCK SHIFT SEMICOLON.

Repeat last speech phonetically: ALT SEMICOLON.

If you frequently miss speech, try a slower speed or different voice.
