Hearing Words
The Speaking Homework Wiz can pronounce
the words that appear on almost any screen–in
definitions, handwriting examples, spelling cor-
rection lists, your word list, confusables, games,
menus, prompts, and even help messages.
Just press the green SPEAK key whenever you
want to hear words.
To adjust the volume, turn the volume control
wheel on the side of the Homework Wiz. You
can plug headphones into the headphone jack
on the other side to listen by yourself.
Try this example.
1. Press
CLEAR
.
2. Type
elephant
and then press
SPEAK
(green) to hear the word.
If you press
SPEAK
for a misspelled word or a
word not in this dictionary, a “boing” sounds.
3. Press
ENTER
and then press
SPEAK
(green)
to hear its definition.
A tone sounds at the end of the definition. To
stop the speech, press
BACK
.
4. Press
ENTER
and then use the arrow keys
to highlight a word in the definition.
