Writing and pronouncing a message
Use the keyboard to write the message you want Allora to speak out loud.
The message will be displayed on the first line of the display. On the second
line of the display a list of word predictions will appear. If you want to use one
of these words simply press on the figure key corresponding with the figure in
front of the prediction. As soon as you select a prediction Allora suggests a
new list of word predictions. This allows you to create your message quicker
and with a lot less keystrokes.
If you want to select a figure press the figure key a bit longer. Just hold it until
the figure appears on the display. The time you need to hold the figure key to
select a figure is adjustable (see chapter The Keyboard).
