The speech settings include a list of items that tell you how to adjust the volume, speed and pitch of
KeySoft's speech, the 2 media player volume commands, memo playback, pausing and resuming
playback of media and muting/unmuting streamed audio.
To select an item, move through the menu until the required item is displayed, and then press
ENTER. Alternatively, from anywhere in the Options menu, press the initial letter of your choice.
This does not apply to the speech settings, which are discussed in 1.18.5 Setting Volume and Pitch.
Selecting a menu item takes at least two key combinations, for example, SPACE with O then D to
hear the date. For really fast access, many items are also available through quick commands. These
are listed in 1.18 General Functions, as well as being mentioned in each relevant section of this
chapter.
Some items on the Options Menu will always display the same style of information, for example the
time and date functions, while for other options the response will vary depending on where you are
in KeySoft when you select the item. An example of this is "Calculator Braille Language," which
is only displayed when the Calculator is in use.
The Connectivity option is discussed in detail in the Connectivity Chapter of this user guide.
