Here's the relevant excerpt from the bns user's manual: " Another interesting feature of speech box mode is "indexing". This capability only works if the screen access program you're using supports indexing. Indexing means that the Braille 'n Speak is so closely linked to the PC cursor as it's reading that, if you issue a "stop reading" command on your PC, the PC cursor and the Braille 'n Speak will both stop at the same place. In other words, the last word uttered by the Braille 'n Speak is the same word as where your PC cursor rests. This can be very handy when you're editing, for example, using a word processor in your PC. If your screen access program has the capability to change speech parameters - rate of speech, volume, and so forth - you can change how the Braille 'n Speak reads to you from your PC keyboard. Here is a brief list of the speech parameters you might be able to control from your PC if your screen access program lets you do it: - Volume - Control e x v, where x represents a volume from 01 to 16, 01 being the lowest volume. - Pitch - Control e x p, where x represents a pitch from 01 to 63, 01 being the lowest pitch. - Speech rate - Control e x e, where x represents a rate from 01 to 16, 01 being the slowest speech rate. - Frequency - Control e x t, where x represents a tone from 01 to 25, 01 being the lowest. - Punctuation level - Control e followed by a, m, s, or z, where the letters represent All, Most, Some, or No punctuation, respectively. - Index marker - Control f. - Silence command - Control x." I gather from the above that ctrl+f is something the computer sends to the bns, not the other way around. Either I'm misunderstanding what the manual says, or there are indeed at least two kinds of indexing.
