Info

Most of these commands display a dialog box that allows you to customize certain aspects of MAGic. You can press F1 or use the button to get help on any option in the dialog box. From the MAGic user interface, you can select Help Topics from the Help menu to view the complete online help system which provides a full-text search, index, and table of contents to help you find the information you need. For more information on MAGic Help, refer to Getting Help on page 28. The MAGic Key The MAGic Key is the CAPS LOCK key on your keyboard. Pressing the MAGic Key in combination with other keys activates a number of MAGic commands. If you want to assign the MAGic Key to a different key on your keyboard, open the Keyboard menu and choose MAGic Key. For more information, refer to MAGic Key on page 96. Hot Keys In addition to the menus and magnification/speech buttons, there are a number of keyboard hot keys you can use at any time to read text, change how MAGic magnifies your screen, or perform a variety of other functions. For a complete list of hot keys, refer to Appendix C MAGic Hot Keys on page 131. Reading Text with MAGic MAGic can use synthesized speech to read text that appears on your screen, including documents, menus, dialog boxes, e-mail messages, Web pages, and more. Additionally, MAGic can highlight the text as it is spoken. To customize MAGic’s speech, use the commands available on the Speech menu. Tip: You can silence MAGic’s speech at any time by pressing CTRL. To toggle speech on or off, press MAGic Key+F3. 20
Using the Mouse to Read Text Mouse echo is a feature that allows you to read text with your mouse. To use mouse echo, just move your mouse pointer to some text on your screen and then stop. After a short delay, MAGic will speak the word you pointed to. You can use the Mouse Echo button to enable or disable this feature. For more information, refer to Mouse Echo on page 84. In addition, you can hold down the MAGic Key and press the left mouse button to start reading from the current location of the mouse pointer. You do not need to hold down the MAGic Key while MAGic reads. MAGic stops reading when you move the mouse or press a key. Using the Keyboard to Read Text MAGic has a number of different keystrokes that let you use the keyboard to read text. To use these keystrokes, move the insertion point or mouse pointer to any location within the document. Then press one of the following key combinations to read from that location: • To begin reading from your current location, press MAGic Key+SPACEBAR or INSERT+DOWN ARROW. • To read the current character, press NUM PAD 5. • To read the current word, press MAGic Key+ALT or INSERT+NUM PAD 5. To spell the current word, press the keystroke twice quickly. • To read the next word, press INSERT+RIGHT ARROW. To read the previous word, press INSERT+LEFT ARROW. • To read the current line, press MAGic Key+L or INSERT+UP ARROW. To read the next line, press DOWN ARROW. To read the previous line, press UP ARROW. • To read from the beginning of the line to the current position of the cursor, press INSERT+HOME. To read from the current position of the cursor to the end of the line, press INSERT+PAGE UP. • To read the current sentence, press MAGic Key+S. To read the next sentence, press CTRL+MAGic Key+S. 21
