With "reading normal" we recommend to use "say character attribute changes". Now
you can easily follow attribute changes at the reading position without a hassle
switching to attribute information. This is especially useful when checking the layout
for example within a word document.
With "reading fast" it makes sense to use the action "say all and route Braille line".
This allows you to browse fast through a text till you reached the position you were
looking for.
You can assign the reading behavior "resting" with "say current character´s
attributes". This allows you to check the current character´s attributes anytime.
For "reading backward" we recommend to assign the action "route mouse cursor to
reading position". This allows you with a small gesture to place the mouse pointer to
your reading position. This can be helpful to route the attention of a sighted person to
a specific text position.
5.4 ATC-Monitor Settings
For the graphic display of the reading modes on the monitor screen, you may assign
a different color to each reading status. The following colors are the default
assignments for each mode:
Finger on line: yellow
Reading status fast: light blue
Reading status normal speed: green
Reading status resting: orange
Reading status reading backwards: red
You can customize the colors by opening the standard Windows color dialog.
