3.11 Where am I? — Key 5

The Where am I key will announce your reading position without interrupting the reading process.

Depending on the book type, Trek will announce one or more of the page and heading numbers,

section title, or file name. For Music, it will announce current folder and file names and the file times.

For Talking books, Other Books, Audible, Saved Podcasts and Notes it will announce the

percentage of the book or note played as well as individual file times. For text files, it will announce

the percentage of the file played. Reading will resume once this information has been announced.

For talking books, the time remaining in the section will also be announced. For most books, this

translates as the time remaining in the current chapter. Note that time information is not always

available.

3.11.1 Where am I tag information

For mp3 and mp4 files, if you press Where am I (key 5) twice, the Trek will announce ID3 tags

data. While listening to an Internet Radio station, pressing Where am I (key 5) once will announce

the song or Trek title if available. Pressing Where am I (key 5) twice will announce additional

information about the station if available, such as its Name, Genre, URL, Publicity, Content type,

and Bitrate. If you don't want to hear all the tags, press Play to interrupt and resume playback.

3.11.2 Where am I for Audible books

For Audible books, if you press Where am I (key 5) twice, the Trek will announce additional

information about the book. If you don't want to hear the information press Play to interrupt

announcement and return to playback.

3.11.3 Where am I for online books

While reviewing the list of results after doing an online book search press Where am I (key 5) to

hear additional information about the book such as the book synopsis.

3.12 Multi-Voice Text to Speech (TTS)

The English versions of Trek have two text-to-speech voices and the non-English versions have an

English and local language voice. You can toggle from one voice to another by pressing and holding

key 7.

3.13 Audio, Text, and Random Music Playback Modes — Key 9

There are two types of Playback modes available: Recorded audio and Text-To-Speech (TTS). For

DAISY or NISO books with full text/full audio, use the 9 key to switch back and forth between the

recorded audio and the same position in the equivalent electronic text. The synchronization

depends on the book producer but typically text and audio are synchronized to the paragraph or

sentence element.

The last used playback mode is saved between reading sessions. Only the modes available for the

selected book will be available for selection with the 9 key. If the book is only recorded or only text

then the appropriate mode is automatically selected and the 9 key has no choices available.

When playing Music you can press key 9 to toggle between the following playback modes: Random

Off, Random On, Loop Folder, and Loop Single. Random On will randomize your playlist elements,

while Loop folder will automatically start playback from the beginning of the current folder when the

end of the folder is reached. Loop Single will automatically start playback from the beginning of the

current file when the end of the file is reached. Note that the Loop Folder and Loop Single modes

have priority over the Loop settings in the configuration menu.
