Playing Back Dictated Text in SpeakPad
The Playback Selection feature in SpeakPad is useful when you are correcting your
dictated text. You can hear your own voice to help determine what you dictated.
Playback is limited to 1,000 words of dictated text (punctuation is included in the word
count). If your selection is over 1,000 words or contains typed text, you can use the Read
Selection feature to hear a computer-generated voice read the text aloud.
1. Highlight some dictated text.
2. SAY> PLAY THIS or select the Playback Selection menu item from the Dictation
menu.
3. You now hear your recorded voice played back.
4. Select Stop Playback from the menu to stop playback.
Reading Your Text
Provided your application supports the Select All and Copy to Clipboard functions, you
can have ViaVoice read back text aloud from almost any source, including documents
and e-mail messages.
1. Open the application.
2. SAY> READ ALL or, highlight the text you want to read and SAY> READ
SELECTION.
The text selected is read using the currently selected system voice.
3. Turn on the microphone and SAY> STOP READING to stop playback at any time.
