The user operates SpeakOn with a keyboard. SpeakOn responds with speech to convey information. You can mute the speech temporarily by pressing the [Ctrl] (0) key.
If you try to perform an operation which is not allowed, SpeakOn will respond with a short sound referred to as a 'Beep'. For example, this will happen if you try to navigate beyond the last item in a list or try to use a key which is not allowed for a particular control. An example of this is a 'Button' control which accepts only the 'Select' key and if you try to use the 'Up' key within this control, SpeakOn responds with a beep.
In many situations SpeakOn interacts with the internet. This happens for example while navigating the library or when requesting media. Internet response usually takes a few seconds but sometimes, due to a slow connection or the load on a server, your request will be delayed excessively. In this situation, if you try to press a key, SpeakOn will respond by saying: 'Please wait a bit longer'. If you don't want to wait, you can press the [Ctrl] (0) key to cancel the connection. This may happen immediately or may take up to approximately 20 seconds.
Sometimes you might want to obtain the content of the last spoken message perhaps because you want to send or save it somewhere or examine it in detail because it was not spoken clearly.
To do this press: [Ctrl + Shift + c] The message is copied to the clipboard and you can paste it to other applications.
