Uputstvo - Korišćenje govora pomoću ZoomText Fusion 11

ZoomText® Fusion 11 combines two of the best vision accessibility tools available – ZoomText Magnifier/Reader and JAWS® for Windows screen reader – into a single installation with one authorization.

If you have previously used ZoomText Magnifier/Reader, you will be very familiar with magnification operation when running Fusion. Because all screen reading is controlled by JAWS, you may notice differences with speech operation when running Fusion. The following briefly describes these differences and how to use speech with Fusion.

After Installing Fusion

When you first install and run Fusion, magnification is set at 2x, and speech is on by default with Eloquence as the default synthesizer.

Allowing Fusion to speak can help to reduce eye fatigue. When using magnification tools, such as the mouse pointer, text cursor, and focus enhancements, speech can also help you locate your position on the screen.

Shortcut Icons

When Fusion is installed, three icons are placed on the desktop.

Shortcut	Description
	Click the Fusion icon to run Fusion. The Fusion user interface controls screen magnification. The JAWS menu, located in the notification area of the Windows taskbar, lets you change speech and braille settings, and use extra speech features. Press INSERT+J to open the JAWS menu.
	Click the ZoomText icon to run only ZoomText. The ZoomText user interface is used along with ZoomText speech features. To learn more about ZoomText operation, refer to the ZoomText help (press F1 from the ZoomText toolbar).
	Click the JAWS icon to run only JAWS. The JAWS user interface is used, and there is no magnification. To learn more about JAWS operation, refer to the JAWS help (press INSERT+J, and click Help > JAWS Help Topics)

If Fusion is authorized and licensed to run on your computer, these installed versions of ZoomText and JAWS are also authorized. If Fusion is not authorized, Fusion and JAWS run in 40-minute Demo mode. When Demo mode expires, you must reboot your computer to continue using Fusion. If ZoomText is not authorized, it runs in 60-day Demo mode.

Turning Speech On or Off

To turn speech on or off, do one of the following:

• Click the Voice button in the Fusion Reader tab

• Press CAPS LOCK+ALT+ENTER
  Note: To momentarily stop speech while Fusion is speaking, press CTRL.

Changing the Voice Rate

To control how fast or slow Fusion speaks, do one of the following:

• Use the Rate box in the Fusion Reader tab

• Press CAPS LOCK+ALT+UP ARROW for faster speech
• Press CAPS LOCK+ALT+DOWN ARROW for slower speech
  Several hotkeys are available to make temporary and permanent changes to the voice rate. For more information, see Voice Rate Hotkeys.

Accessing Speech Settings with the JAWS Menu

The JAWS menu provides access to numerous JAWS settings and functions. For example, you can fine-tune speech settings, enable or disable mouse echo, download additional voices, configure braille settings, view help, and more.

JAWS runs in the notification area, also known as the system tray, and does not appear in the Fusion ribbon tabs.

Note: The JAWS icon may display or be hidden in the notification area of the taskbar depending on your Windows taskbar settings.

Opening the JAWS Menu
The hotkey INSERT+J is the fastest way to open the JAWS menu. Pressing INSERT+J smoothly moves the magnified screen view to the JAWS menu as shown below.

Note: You can also right-click the JAWS icon to open the menu.

Using Mouse Echo

ZoomText users may be familiar with using mouse echo to have text read as the mouse pointer moves over words or lines of text. In Fusion, the Echo group (Keyboard, Mouse, and Verbosity) is unavailable in the Fusion Reader tab. Instead, you can use the JAWS menu or layered keystrokes to switch mouse echo on or off.

Controlling Mouse Echo with the JAWS Menu

To turn mouse echo on or off using the JAWS menu, do the following:

1. Press INSERT+J to open the JAWS menu.
2. Choose Options.
A check mark indicates that mouse echo is on. No check mark indicates that it is off.

3. Select Mouse Echo to turn mouse echo on or off.

Controlling Mouse Echo with Layered Keystrokes

Layered keystrokes offer a fast and convenient way to perform an action. These keystrokes reduce the number of keys that you need to hold down at once to perform an action. There are several keystrokes available to control mouse echo.

Press and release INSERT+SPACEBAR, followed by the keystrokes listed below to perform the action.

Vocalizer Expressive Voices (Version 2)

Fusion 11 supports Vocalizer Expressive voices from Nuance® to add variety beyond the default Eloquence synthesizer. These voices offer very responsive, high quality, human-sounding speech in a wide variety of languages and dialects. They are offered in two forms: compact voices and individual high premium voices.

The compact voices are smaller files and take up less disk space on your computer. As a result, you can download a single file that contains all voices and dialects for a selected language. These voices offer very good speech quality at fast speech rates. The high premium voices are larger files, but offer the highest quality speech.

Downloading Vocalizer Expressive Voices

To download the voices, do the following:
1. Click Synthesizer Downloads.
Note: To download voices using the JAWS menu, press INSERT+J, and choose Help > More Voices.
2. In your web browser, select Vocalizer Expressive 2 in the Synthesizer list.
3. Select a language in the Language list.
4. Do one of the following:
- Click Download Compact Voices to download all voices for that language
- Click Download Premium High for an individual voice. Once the file is downloaded, you can continue to download other Premium High voices.
5. Locate and install the downloaded voice file.
6. Restart Fusion so that the new voices are detected and available for use. To select and use a new voice, see Changing Voices.

Changing Voices

To change the current voice, do the following:

1. Press INSERT+J to open the JAWS menu.
2. Choose Options > Voices > Voice Adjustment.

3. In the Voice Adjustment dialog box, select a synthesizer from the Profile Name list. For example, select Vocalizer Expressive – Factory to switch from Eloquence to Vocalizer Expressive version 2.
4. In the Person list, select a voice. Click OK to save the change and close the dialog box.

Note: If you want to use multiple languages and voices, you can create a voice profile. It consists of settings for the synthesizer, language, voice, and other speech items that define how JAWS speaks. You can create voice profiles that are specific for different applications and task. To learn more, see “Selecting a Voice Profile” in the JAWS help.
