Reminder:
In the context of this guide, Text Files can either be plain
text or HTML files. No pre-recorded audio is associated with Text
Files so PLEXTALK will automatically use the built in text to speech
engine when accessing these files.
Whilst many of the details of playing a Text File with PLEXTALK are
very similar to playing a DAISY title, this chapter highlights a number
of important differences.
13.1. Getting text file information.
To get information about the current Text File, whether PLEXTALK is
playing or not, do the following:
•
Press the Information key once.
•
A range of information will be spoken. See below for details.
•
If you do not wish to listen to all the information, and wish to
step through individual items more quickly, you can do this by
repeatedly pressing the Information key.
•
If you have heard what you want to hear, you can stop the
spoken information by pressing the Enter key.
When using a Text File, you will hear the following items:
•
Title information.
•
Current position - expressed as a percentage.
•
Bookmark information.
•
Power information - power source, battery level.
•
Operation mode – advanced or simple.
•
System properties – system version, serial number.
13.2. Differences between plain text and HTML files.
Although this guide refers to both plain text files and HTML files as
Text Files, you should note the following difference between these
two types of file as it affects the navigation options you have.
