1.5 WRITING

You need to be in a Word or Notepad document or email to be able to write. When you have finished your first line of writing, the Cursor or writing point will automatically move to the start of the next line. You don’t have to press the Return (Enter) key unless you deliberately want to start a new line as when typing an address. The same applies to pages. You can put in a page break with CONTROL ENTER.

When you first download Thunder, it will speak letter by letter as you write. If you are a confident typist, you may want it to read word by word.

To make this change, from your Word document, go to Settings: hold down the ALT key, dab at the TAB until you hear "Thunder". Release both keys. Press TAB until you hear "Settings" and press ENTER.

Press TAB until you hear "Echo words - unchecked checkbox". Pressing the SPACEBAR switches between unchecked and checked, a toggle key. You will need it "checked".

If you don’t want to hear letter by letter as you type, press SHIFT TAB to hear "Echo characters - checked checkbox" and press the Spacebar to stop it.

If you aren’t sure whether you have checked or unchecked the box, TAB UP or SHIFT TAB DOWN and you will hear what’s checked. You could have Thunder speak both letters and words.

You now need to confirm and save your choice of setting. Press TAB till you hear "Save configuration" and press ENTER. Press ALT F4 to come out of Settings.

To get back to your document, hold down the ALT key and keep dabbing TAB until you hear the name of your document.
