4.4 The Review Cursor.
When you are reading, the cursor is hidden because it serves no useful purpose. However, in the
automatic Braille display mode, when you are reviewing character by character, the cursor is shown
to indicate the current character. For grade 1 or grade 2 Braille, the cursor is both dots 7 and 8 by
default. For computer Braille the cursor is dot 8 only. Remember that KeyBook automatically
displays the book in your preferred grade of Braille if the original book is in text format. If you
move the cursor onto a word, however, that word is displayed in computer Braille. This gives you a
one-to-one correspondence between the Braille display and the word you are reviewing. Of course,
if the original book is in Braille there is no change as you move the cursor.
When the cursor is under a format indicator, the cursor spans all of the cells of the indicator.
4.5 Additional Reading Commands.
KeyBook's reading commands are the same as KeyWord's, but KeyBook does not allow the book to
be edited. This feature prevents intentional or unintentional modification to the text of the book
being read.
The following commands can be used to listen to the book that has been opened:
To go forward reading, press READ with G.
Note that while you are continuously reading, you can skip back or forward by sentences or
paragraphs without stopping the continuous reading function. This feature is extremely useful if you
want to quickly browse forward or back from your current reading position.
To stop reading, press READ with SPACE together.
The following 6 commands can be used both while KeyBook is continuously reading and when you
are reviewing:
To move back a sentence, press READ with U;
To hear the current sentence, press READ with I;
To move forward a sentence, press READ with O;
To move back a paragraph, press READ with 7;
To hear the current paragraph, press READ with 8;
To move forward a paragraph, press READ with 9.
The other commands available when reviewing are:
To go to the beginning of the book, press READ with T;
To go to the end of the book, press READ with B;
