7.1. Introduction
All of the standard configurations provided on your Palmtop device allow you to spell out messages
character by character. Some allow you to select symbols that represent words or phrases. Each
configuration (with the exception of
List
and
Morse-Only
) consists of a series of buttons with letters, symbols,
and punctuation marks, along with buttons for editing and controlling speech. The
Symbol-Base
configuration
also includes a number of topic-organized pages with Mayer-Johnson symbols. Many configurations also
have a word prediction list that provides immediate access to words as you type them.
Because there are more characters than there are onscreen buttons, most of the configurations have a
second page that contains numbers and symbols. This page is accessed by selecting the
Numbers
button.
Selecting the
Letters
button will return you to the normal page of characters.
Many of the configurations also include a button labeled
Phrases
. This button links to a page that contains
buttons that hold user-defined words or phrases. The first phrase page can also have links to additional
phrase pages. For more information on adding and editing phrase pages, see section 5.3.
Most of the non-character buttons have graphical icons that reflect their function. For example, the
Shift
button has an arrow pointing upwards. The meaning of the various icons are provided here:
