Using the MatchMaker
Keys
You can find correct spellings even when you don’t
know how to spell a word. Just type the
MatchMaker keys—
?
and
*
—in place of the
letters or syllables you don’t know.
If MatchMaker finds no words matching your request,
you see and hear a “None found” message. In that
case, press
CLEAR
to return to the main prompt.
Letter Detective
When you’re unsure of only a few letters in a word,
use the Letter Detective key—
?
. Type one
question mark for each unknown letter. You can use
more than one question mark in a word.
1. Type “conc??ve” at the main prompt.
2. Press
ENTER
.
This is a MatchMaker list.
3. Press
READ
to hear the list.
Here’s what else you can do now:
To hear a word said, highlight it by pressing
or
.
To hear a word spelled, highlight it and then hold
SPELL
.
To define a word, highlight it and then press
ENTER
.
When you’ve finished reading the definition, press
BACK
.
4. Press
CLEAR
.
Fragment Finder
When you don’t know how to spell syllables and suffixes
in a word, use the Fragment Finder key,
*
.
Like question marks, you can type more than one
asterisk in a word. For example, “pers*v*”. You can
also use question marks and asterisks together in a
word. For example, “pers*ver?nce”.
NOTE: The Fragment Finder key works best when
you’re looking for letters in the middle and at the end of
words. If you type an asterisk at the beginning of a
word, MatchMaker searches take longer.
1. Type “persever*” at the main prompt.
2. Press
ENTER
