1
Place your finger on the screen. RAY then reads out the name of the first item
in the List screen.
2
If this is the item that you want to select, then go to step
3
below. Otherwise,
without lifting your finger,
slide it either
up
towards the number 2 or
down
towards the number 8. RAY then reads out the names of the items in the List
screen one after another.
You only need slide your finger a little and then stop in order to indicate the
direction in which to scroll the List screen (up or down).
RAY reads out each item in the List screen in a cyclical fashion, meaning that
RAY always scrolls through all the items until it reaches the item that you
want.

When RAY says the required item
name, lift your finger up to select it. When
you place your finger on a List screen, you hear RAY’s special List screen
sound and feel the special List screen vibration.
Tip
All Lists are organized as follows:
•
The first item in the List is the first item in the downwards direction.
•
The first item in the upwards direction is the last item in the List.
Tip
Two options are provided for browsing more quickly through lists:
•
Tap to Skip:
You can stop RAY from reading the full name of an item in
a List screen in order to skip to the next item more quickly. When RAY
starts reading the name of an item (while one finger is still on the
screen), tap the screen with another finger. RAY will immediately skip to
reading the next item on the list. You can do this repeatedly to go
through the list quickly.
•
Two Fingers for Alphabetical Browsing:
In a long list of more than
25 items, you can browse quickly through the List screen by doing the
same thing as described above (Step
2
on the previous page
), but with
keeping two fingers on the screen (not tapping). As long as you keep
both fingers are on the screen, RAY reads out the letters of the alphabet.
When RAY reaches the preferred letter, lift up one finger to continue
browsing through all the items that start with that letter.

Special note when Android is configured with TalkBack on:
If
your basic Android environment is configured with Accessibility on
(talkback is enabled), in order to enable fast move within long list, you
must make the first touch on the screen with two fingers. As an
