3.8.4 Identifying Indistinctly Spoken Characters.
When you read a character by pressing SPACE with dots 3-6, it is sometimes difficult to distinguish
between letters that sound similar. If you press SPACE with dots 3-6, twice, when you are using
text or Braille Codes, other than UEB, KeySoft expands the current character into its "military call
sign", if the character is alphabetical, for example A - Alpha, B - Bravo, etc.
When you are using UEB, the second press of SPACE with dots 3-6, speaks the Braille context of
the symbol under the cursor. For example, if the cursor is on dot 1-5 in the sequence 4-5, 3-4, 1-5,
the "e acute" will be spoken on the second press. A third press will give the military call-sign.
3.8.5 Spelling Out a Word.
If you press SPACE with dots 2-5 twice, KeySoft spells the current word.
In a Braille document three presses of SPACE with dots 2-5 causes KeySoft to spell a translated
version of the word. If the word in question contains one or more grade 2 contractions, those
contractions are expanded to their equivalent characters and the expanded word is spelt out. For
example, the word "time" is spelled as "dot 5 T" on the second press but "t i m e" on the third
press.
