TALKS key timeout
When you press the
[TALKS]
key, the command mode is activated and you can press a second key to
complete a TALKS or ZOOMS command. By default, TALKS and ZOOMS always wait for you to press
the second key to complete the command sequence, no matter how long you take to do it. However, if
you press the
[TALKS]
key by accident, pressing another key might cause undesired results.
The
TALKS key timeout
option enables you to set a waiting period (1, 2, 5, or 10 seconds) for
[TALKS]
key sequences. If you do not press a second key by the end of this waiting period, the command
mode is deactivated. If you set this option to
Forever
, TALKS and ZOOMS always remain in the
command mode until you press the second key.
To set a waiting period for key command sequences:
•
In the
TALKS&ZOOMS Settings
dialog box, on the
Advanced
tab, select
TALKS key
timeout
, and select an option.
4.2.21
TALKS mode timeout
By default, the TALKS and ZOOMS command mode is deactivated immediately after you press the
second key of any key sequence. The
TALKS mode timeout
setting enables you to extend the command
mode to accept another key without your pressing the [
TALKS]
key again.
Extending the duration of the TALKS and ZOOMS command mode can be useful for setting the volume,
speech rate, or zooming factor; after you press the first key for one of these functions, you can keep
pressing the second command key until you reach the desired level. When you press the second key
repeatedly, be sure to do it rapidly, without pausing.
To extend the duration of the command mode:
1.
In the
TALKS&ZOOMS Settings
dialog box, on the
Advanced
tab, select
TALKS
mode timeout
.
2.
Select a duration for the command mode: 0.5, 1, 2, 5, or 10 seconds.
3.
To return to the default setting, in which the command mode is deactivated as soon as
you press a second key in a command sequence, select
Single command
.
