<strong>MAGic</strong> Speaks<br />

Chapter 5<br />

Speech<br />

Not only does <strong>MAGic</strong> magnify your computer’s screen, but it also has<br />

screen reading capabilities. You can customize <strong>MAGic</strong>’s speech<br />

components to fit your needs. The Speech menu, located on the menu<br />

bar contains all the controls to help you adapt <strong>MAGic</strong>’s speech to suit<br />

you.<br />

The first item on the Speech menu, Enable Speech, lets you activate or<br />

deactivate speech. If the menu item appears with a checkmark next to<br />

it, speech is enabled. If there is no checkmark, speech is disabled.<br />

The Speech Menu<br />

Global Voice Adjustment<br />

From the Speech menu, choose Global Voice Adjustment to change<br />

<strong>MAGic</strong>'s voice, speech rate, pitch, synthesizer, language, punctuation<br />

level, and other speech options. These speech preferences are used any<br />

time <strong>MAGic</strong> speaks. If you only want to change certain aspects of<br />

<strong>MAGic</strong>'s speech (such as the speech used to read documents) use the<br />

Individual Voice Adjustment command on the Speech menu. You can<br />

save your speech settings as a voice profile, allowing you to switch<br />

between different settings quickly and easily.<br />
