MAGic lets you magnify your computer screen from 1 to 16 times its usual size. You can choose from a number of different adjustable views that let you see both a magnified and unmagnified portion of the screen at the same time. Speech features assist you in processing the information on your screen. MAGic can read text that you type or point at with the mouse. MAGic moves the magnified area of the screen so you always see the text being read and highlights words as they are spoken. Mouse and cursor enhancements help you track the location of the mouse pointer and cursor on the screen. You can choose from a wide variety of enhancement styles. MAGic lets you change the color of these enhancements, apply transparency effects, adjust their size, and more. Color enhancements let you change how colors display on your screen. You can create rules that replace one color with another or switch two colors. You can also apply color tinting, make your screen black-and- white (monochrome), and invert the brightness and colors of your display. Other MAGic features track elements of your screen, such as the mouse pointer, dialog boxes, and so on. The Locator feature provides you with a way to quickly find and move to different areas of the screen. The MAGic multi-directional panning system gives you complete control with adjustable speed, direction, stop and start, and screen navigation controls.

Installing MAGic 1. Insert the MAGic CD into your CD-ROM drive. 2. The MAGic Setup program starts. You will hear the installation speak the instructions as they appear on your screen. Follow these instructions to complete the MAGic installation. If your MAGic installation CD does not start automatically, click the Start button, select Run, and type D:\setup. If your CD-ROM is not D, substitute the correct drive letter. The MAGic setup program will then begin. Choose to run the automatic or guided installation of MAGic. The automatic installation assumes that you want to install all languages and you approve of the default location where MAGic is stored on your hard disk. Use the guided installation if you want to specify which languages to install, where MAGic is stored on your computer, or whether MAGic should start automatically when you start Windows. Instructions for installing MAGic on a network can be found in the online help system. Authorizing MAGic The authorization key contains the information your computer needs to run MAGic. MAGic prompts you for either an authorization disk or an update disk, if you received one. Follow the instructions that appear on the screen to complete your authorization of MAGic. If you do not have a current authorization key, you can run MAGic in 40- minute demonstration mode. After 40 minutes, you must restart your computer to use MAGic. For more information about MAGic authorization, see Appendix A Using HJAuth. Registering MAGic Initial Registration MAGic prompts you to register the first time you run the program.

If you choose to send it via traditional mail, MAGic prompts you to enter the registration disk, which is provided with the software. When the process is complete, place the disk in the included return mail envelope and send it to Freedom Scientific.

Chapter 2 Navigating MAGic Use Your Mouse and Your Keyboard With MAGic, you can use both your mouse and your keyboard to access most features. You decide what is best for you. Many people use a combination of the two. The MAGic documentation gives you information on how to perform actions with both the keyboard and the mouse. For example, you can either press ALT+F to access the File menu, or you can point and click the word File with the mouse. Using the Keyboard with MAGic The MAGic Key When you use the keyboard in MAGic, the most important thing to know is the MAGic Key. The default MAGic Key is the CAPS LOCK key on your keyboard. Using the MAGic Key in combination with other keys activates a MAGic command if one is assigned, otherwise it will pass the key combination through to the application. Pressing the MAGic Key by itself and releasing it will not carry out any action. You can specify what key you use for your MAGic Key in the MAGic Key dialog box, which is activated from the Keyboard menu. Your choices include: Extended INSERT (found on the six pack), NUM PAD INSERT, either INSERT, or SCROLL LOCK (the key just above HOME). Pass the MAGic Key Through If your MAGic Key is set to the default of CAPS LOCK, how do you use your CAPS LOCK key as usual? Press the CAPS LOCK key twice quickly, and caps lock will turn on. To turn off caps lock, press the key twice quickly. Use this double key press to pass through any of the MAGic Keys that you use. For instance, if you select INSERT as your MAGic Key, press the INSERT key twice to use the actual insert function. Pass Through Key Command If you have an application that uses the same keystroke combination as one assigned to MAGic, you can pass the keystroke combination through to the application, so it will not function as a MAGic keystroke in that instance. Press MAGic Key+3 (on the numbers row), and then press the keystroke you want to use in the application. Use the Pass Through command for any key combination that is used in MAGic and in other applications. With MAGic, you can customize all of your keystrokes in the Keyboard Assignments dialog box, activated from the Keyboard menu. If you specify certain keystrokes for use in MAGic, you may need to use these keystrokes in other applications. Keep the Pass Through command of MAGic Key+3 in mind when you customize keystrokes. Customizing the Keyboard The Keyboard menu allows you to customize how you use your PC's keyboard with MAGic. This menu allows you to re-assign the MAGic Key to a different key and manage shortcut keys. The Keyboard menu provides the following options: * Choose MAGic Key from the Keyboard menu to change which key is assigned to the MAGic Key. * Choose Keyboard Assignments from the Keyboard menu to view the current hot keys assigned to actions, assign different hot keys, remove hot keys, or restore the hot keys to the default settings. Refer to Chapter 6 Keyboard for detailed information on these commands. Using the Mouse with MAGic Point & Click With MAGic you don't have to learn keystrokes to perform actions. You can use the mouse to point at items on the user interface, and click the buttons to activate features. For example, to enable mouse enhancements, just point at the Mouse Enhancements button and press the left mouse button. If you are not sure how to activate a feature, use your mouse to open the menus and find the feature you need. Left Click vs. Right Click The left mouse button is the more commonly used mouse button, because it activates buttons and menus. Alternatively, the right mouse button provides useful shortcuts to many items found under MAGic's menus. You can right-click many of the buttons on the user interface to see a context menu. Depending on where you right-click on the user interface, the menus change. Use your right mouse button to access the most common features associated with the buttons on the MAGic user interface. If you are not a mouse user, you can activate context menus with the APPLICATION Key on the keyboard. Locate the APPLICATION Key just to the left of the right CTRL key in the bottom row on your main keypad. Use the TAB key to place the focus on the button that you want to see the context menu for, and press the APPLICATION Key to open the menu. Then use the UP and DOWN ARROWS to move through the menu choices. Chapter 3 User Interface The MAGic user interface contains everything you need to customize magnification and speech to fit your needs. The user interface automatically opens when you launch MAGic. If you want to make the user interface active while you are working in another window, click MAGic Screen Magnification in the Windows taskbar or hold down ALT and press TAB until you select MAGic. The MAGic user interface consists of the title bar, the menu bar, and the Quick Access Window. The title bar is the bar across the top of the application, which says, "MAGic Screen Magnification."

Resize View Button When working in Split, Overlay, or Lens, or Dynamic Lens views, use the Resize View button to resize or move the view. You must be in the Split, Overlay, Lens, or Dynamic Lens view, and magnification must be active to use the Resize View button. When the Resize View button is available it appears blue. If it is gray, you need to turn on magnification, by choosing the Magnification button on the MAGic user interface. After you choose the Resize View button, notice that the cursor changes shape, and that MAGic automatically minimizes the user-interface. The shape of the mouse indicates in which direction you can click and drag your mouse to move or resize your view. If the pointer appears as an X, like above, it is not positioned over the view or one its borders. The X indicates that from this position the view cannot be resized or moved. A bi-directional cross indicates the ability to move the view to a different location on your screen. Click the view, and while holding the mouse button down drag the view to another location. Split view only moves to the top, bottom, left, or right edge of your screen, while you can move Overlay to any location on your screen. A vertical pointer indicates that resizing will occur in a vertical direction, larger or smaller. A horizontal pointer indicates that resizing will occur in a horizontal direction, either larger or smaller. A diagonal pointer indicates that resizing will occur in both vertical and horizontal directions. MAGic only exhibits the diagonal mouse when you position the mouse over the corner of the view. The diagonal pointer is only available for the Overlay, Dynamic Lens, and Lens views. Locator Button Activate the Locator with this button. Use the Locator button to activate the Locator, which you can use to find items on your screen. Move the Locator with your mouse or your arrow keys.

Chapter 4 Magnification Magnification Features With MAGic's extensive magnification features, you can customize your display to fit your low vision needs. The Magnification menu, found on the menu bar, contains all of the controls to change the appearance of your display. The first item on the Magnification menu, Enable Magnification, lets you activate or deactivate magnification. If the menu item appears with a checkmark next to it, magnification is enabled. If there is no checkmark, magnification is disabled. Remember that the blue buttons on the user-interface allow you quick access to the basic magnification features. The Magnification Menu Display From the Magnification menu, choose Display to change the magnified view, magnification level, amount of vertical stretch, and text smoothing. View Select the magnified view you want to use. Each view is described briefly below. Tip: To change the properties for these views, open the Magnification menu and choose View Properties. * Full magnifies the entire screen. * Lens opens a small rectangular window, which is magnified, while leaving the remaining desktop unmagnified. The lens moves around the screen as you move your mouse or when the focus moves. * Overlay creates a magnified window on the corner of the screen, while the rest of the screen remains unmagnified. This is similar to the Lens View, although the Overlay View does not move around the screen. * Dynamic Lens opens a small rectangular window, which is magnified, while leaving the rest of the screen unmagnified. This window follows the mouse pointer or your current location within a document or dialog box if you are using the keyboard. In addition, when you move to a dialog box option or menu command, MAGic automatically resizes the lens so that it only magnifies the currently selected item. * Split allows you to see both an unmagnified area and a magnified one at the same time. The Split View opens a magnified window on part of your screen, but leaves the other part unmagnified as a reference. Views with Level 1 Magnification You can use all of the magnified views in any magnification level, including 1×. Using these views with level 1 magnification can be helpful if you invert the colors of either the magnified or unmagnified area. You then have two images, one with normal colors, and one with inverted colors. To quickly switch from your current magnification level to 1x magnification, press MAGIC Key+DELETE+SHIFT. You can carry out this command again to switch back to your previous magnification level. Magnification Level Press the UP or DOWN ARROW keys to increase or decrease the current magnification level. Magnification levels range from the same size as the normal display, all the way up to 16 times the size of the normal display. Tip: You can choose from nine incremental magnification levels between 1× and 2× magnification. Vertical Stretch Vertical stretch allows you to stretch the display to make images taller while maintaining the character's current width. Smooth Text Smoothing compensates for the stair-step effect that occurs as screen objects get larger during magnification. Smoothing is on by default. You can turn smoothing on or off with the Smoothing check box. Mouse Enhancements From the Magnification menu, choose Mouse Enhancements to control the appearance of your mouse in the magnified and unmagnified areas of your screen. Mouse enhancements make the mouse pointer easier to track and maneuver on your screen. The Magnified Area and Unmagnified Area tabs provide the same enhancement options. The Mouse Schemes tab lets you save your cursor enhancements settings as a scheme or switch to a different scheme. For more information on schemes, refer to Using Schemes on page 37.

To enable or disable the Locator, use the Locator button on the MAGic user-interface. When you activate the Locator, the full screen is temporarily presented unmagnified. Move the Locator around using the mouse or the arrow keys, and use the Locator to find something on your screen. Use PAGE UP to move to the top of the screen, PAGE DOWN to go to the bottom, HOME to go to the beginning of a line, and END to go to the end of a line. After you have located the item, press the left mouse button or ESC to return to your magnified display. The area you covered last with the Locator is now in your magnified view. Style Choose from three different styles for your locator: * Reverse Eyeglass - Shows a square on the screen that is magnified while the rest of the screen is normal size. Colors within the magnified square are reversed. * Eyeglass - Shows a square on the screen that is magnified while the rest of the screen is normal size. * Full Cross - Shows a portion of the screen in reversed colors. In 3× magnification or higher, the Locator appears with crosshairs running through the center of the block. With magnification set to 2×, the Locator appears as a block of inversed colors. Color Specify what color border you want to appear around your Locator. The customizable border only applies to the Eyeglass and the Reverse Eyeglass options. Panning Panning moves your display either horizontally or vertically, so you can browse the screen, locate objects, and read magnified text easier. With magnification set at 2× or higher, you can pan automatically or incrementally. The advantage of automatic panning is that you can review the contents of the screen without using repetitive mouse movements. While incremental panning is similar to automatic panning, it is different in that your viewing area moves in small, fixed increments making it easier for you to explore your focal area. Automatic Panning Begin automatic panning in any direction by pressing the MAGic Key in conjunction with any arrow key. Panning then begins in that direction, and continues until you stop it, or until it reaches the edge of the screen. Note: If you disable Line Wrap in the Panning dialog box, then panning will stop at the right edge of the screen when panning from left to right. Stop Panning To stop panning, press the MAGic Key or the ESC key. You can also use the arrow key that corresponds with the direction in which you are currently panning. Change Panning Direction Press the arrow key of the direction in which you want to pan. Panning Quick Advance Pressing ENTER while panning right scrolls the view to the beginning of the next line, pauses, and then continues panning to the right. Panning Speed Adjust panning speed during panning, or through the Panning dialog box. While panning, press NUM PAD PLUS to speed up, and NUM PAD MINUS to slow down. The speed adjustment only applies to the current direction of Panning. Panning Dialog Box From the Magnification menu, choose Panning to specify panning properties. Speed Panning speed is set independently for each panning direction: forward, reverse, or vertically. Panning speed values are between 1 and 50. You might want to select different speeds for different directions. As you read, you are panning forward, which might require a higher panning speed, than reverse. As you move in the reverse direction you are probably looking for something, so you would want to go slower. You may also want to set vertical panning a bit faster, because you will use vertical panning for skimming documents or Web sites. Line Wrap Select Line Wrap if you want MAGic to automatically wrap to the next line when you reach the right edge of the screen while panning. The edit spin boxes, below the Line Wrap check box, allow you to control the Line Wrap settings. Point Size You can adjust the vertical distance that MAGic travels between successive lines with the line wraps. Point size should correspond to your font size. The default setting is 10 points. Note: The point size specified here also controls the size of the Split View when set to Line. Line Delay Line Delay controls the length of the delay while panning between lines. The Line Delay settings are in tenths of a second. The default setting is 10 (or one second). Incremental Panning Before you can use the Incremental Panning feature you must assign hot keys for each incremental direction. To do this, go to the Keyboard menu and select Keyboard Assignments. From the Category list, select Panning, Navigation. Next, select the incremental direction you want to assign a hot key to and then choose the Assign Hot Key button. Within the Assign Hot Key dialog box type the keystroke you want to use, and then press ENTER. When you are done assigning hot keys, choose the OK button to exit the Keyboard Assignments dialog box. Tracking Tracking allows MAGic to follow your activity on the screen. For example, MAGic can track your mouse pointer so that it always remains in the center of the magnified area. To change how MAGic tracks the cursor and mouse pointer, as well as menus, dialog boxes, and highlighted text, open the Magnification menu and choose Tracking. Mouse To control how MAGic tracks your mouse pointer, select one of the following radio buttons: * Edge - If you select this option, MAGic follows your mouse pointer only when it reaches the edge of the magnified area. * Centered - If you select this option, MAGic continuously follows your mouse pointer, ensuring that it is always in the center of the magnified area. Cursor To control how MAGic tracks the cursor when you are typing text, select one of the following radio buttons: * Edge - If you select this option, MAGic follows your cursor only when it reaches the edge of the magnified area. * Centered - If you select this option, MAGic continuously follows your cursor, ensuring that it is always in the center of the magnified area. Dialogs and Menus The Dialogs and Menus area lets you control how MAGic follows your movement through dialog boxes and menus. Select one of the following radio buttons: * Edge - MAGic automatically moves the magnified area when you reach the edge of the screen while moving through dialog boxes and menus. * Centered - MAGic continuously tracks the active dialog box option or menu command, ensuring that it is always in the center of the magnified area. Document Reading To control how MAGic tracks highlighted text during document reading, select one of the following radio buttons: * Edge - MAGic automatically moves the magnified area when the highlight reaches the edge of the screen. * Centered - MAGic continuously tracks the highlight, ensuring that highlighted text always remains in the center of the magnified area. Auto Switch If you select this check box, centered and relative mouse tracking is temporarily stopped after you stop moving the mouse. The screen remains stationary as long as you keep the mouse pointer within the boundary of the screen. When you move beyond the edge of the screen, tracking starts again. Tether to Display If you select this check box, the mouse pointer is "tethered," or attached, to the magnified display. As soon as you move the mouse, the mouse pointer automatically appears at the current magnified location, even if it was not visible on the screen. If you do not select this check box, MAGic moves to the current location of the mouse pointer when you move the mouse. Mouse Line Lock If you select this check box, you can only move the mouse pointer in horizontal and vertical directions. If you move the mouse in a diagonal direction, MAGic moves the mouse pointer in the closest direction. Track Carets and Cursors Select this check box if you want MAGic to track your cursor and mouse pointer. Chapter 5 Speech MAGic Speaks Not only does MAGic magnify your computer's screen, but it also has screen reading capabilities. You can customize MAGic's speech components to fit your needs. The Speech menu, located on the menu bar contains all the controls to help you adapt MAGic's speech to suit you. The first item on the Speech menu, Enable Speech, lets you activate or deactivate speech. If the menu item appears with a checkmark next to it, speech is enabled.

Primary Language From the Primary Language tab of the Voices dialog box, you set your preferences for the language in which you want to hear MAGic. Choose from any of the languages available and proceed to set the specifications on this tab to fit your language choice. Secondary Language The secondary language is another language in which MAGic can speak. Press MAGic Key+F11 to switch to your secondary language. If you often use two languages, set your other language in the Secondary Language tab of the Voices dialog box. There you can also set your preferences for the voice of that other language. Synthesizer By default MAGic uses Eloquence as its speech synthesizer, although if you have other Speech Application Interface (SAPI) synthesizers installed on your computer, you can use one of those synthesizers instead. When you first visit the Voices dialog box, the synthesizer list will only include Eloquence. Click the Update Synthesizer List button (or press ALT+U) to find the other compatible synthesizers installed on your system. While MAGic searches for other synthesizers you will see a message box indicating that it is looking for them. After MAGic locates all compatible synthesizers, you will see the Update Synthesizer List dialog box. On the left side of the dialog box, there is a list of the available SAPI Synthesizers. Along the middle of the dialog box, there is a series of buttons that will allow you to add or remove synthesizers. To add a new synthesizer: 1. Select one or more synthesizers from the Available SAPI Synthesizer list. 2. Choose the Add button to add just the selected synthesizers to the Synthesizer List for MAGic, or choose Add All to move all synthesizers to the Synthesizer List for MAGic. To remove a synthesizer from the Synthesizer List for MAGic: 1. Select one or more synthesizers from the Synthesizer List for MAGic. 2. Choose the Remove button to remove only the selected synthesizers, or choose Remove All to remove all the synthesizers from the Synthesizer List for MAGic. Note: Although Eloquence does not appear in the Update Synthesizer list dialog box, it always appears in your synthesizer list in the Voices dialog box. Eloquence is always available for your use. Choose OK to accept these changes and move back to the Voices dialog box. Your updated synthesizer list will apply to both the Primary or Secondary Language tabs. From within the Voices dialog box, move to the either the Primary or Secondary Language tab and select your desired synthesizer from the Synthesizer list. This changes the synthesizer only for the active language tab. Language When MAGic is initially installed, on the Primary Language tab, the language is set to the language in which your MAGic menus appear. On the Secondary Language tab, the language is set to None, until you change it. Speaker Next is your choice of speaker, which provides different voices, used for MAGic. Pitch Use this spin box to control the tone of the voice you select. Sample Voice Use this button to hear a preview of the voice and language settings you have specified. Speech Rates As you use MAGic, you may want to hear different types of activities at different rates. For instance, while you are typing, you may want MAGic to read more quickly, so that you can ensure the accuracy of your typing. On the other hand, if you are reading a document, you might want MAGic to speak more slowly, so you can concentrate on content. * Default - This is the speed at which MAGic will read most of the items that appear on your screen, including dialog boxes and menus. * Reading - This is the speech rate MAGic uses for reading documents, e-mail messages, or Web sites. * Typing Echo - MAGic repeats what you type. Use this spin box to specify how fast you want MAGic to echo your keystrokes back to you. Mouse Echo If mouse echo is enabled, MAGic reads text that you point to with the mouse. To customize this feature, open the Speech menu and choose Mouse Echo. Enable Mouse Echo Use this check box to turn mouse echo on or off. Note: MAGic still speaks ToolTips if mouse echo is off. If you do not want MAGic to speak ToolTips, open the Speech menu and choose Verbosity. Then clear the Tool Tips check box. Speech Delay Specify the length of time you want MAGic to wait before it reads the word or line at the current location of the mouse pointer. The delay is measured in seconds. If you move the mouse pointer away before the delay has elapsed, MAGic does not read the word or line. Point & Speak In this area, select one of the following options: * Word at Mouse Position - MAGic reads the word at the current location of the mouse pointer. You must point at the word for the length of time specified in the Mouse Speech Delay box before MAGic reads the word. * Line at Mouse Position - MAGic reads the line of text at the current location of the mouse pointer. You must point at the line for the length of time specified in the Mouse Speech Delay box before MAGic reads the line. Mouse Movement Stops Speech Select this check box to allow MAGic to interrupt speech when you move the mouse pointer over text. If you clear this check box, you can move the mouse pointer anywhere on the screen without interrupting speech. This option does not interrupt speech generated by mouse echo. Typing Echo As you type, MAGic announces what you have typed. To customize this feature, open the Speech menu and choose Typing Echo. Enable Typing Echo Check this box to turn typing echo on or off. Automatically Speak MAGic presents four choices for what is automatically spoken. * Arrow Keys Only - Speaks the letter to the right of the cursor as you press the arrow keys to move through the text. If you press the up or down arrow keys, MAGic will speak the line. Pressing CTRL+RIGHT or LEFT ARROW causes MAGic to read the word. * Letter by Letter - Announces all alphanumeric characters and punctuation as they are typed, during word processing, editing, or data entry. * Word by Word - Speaks each word that you type after you press the SPACEBAR. * All Keystrokes - Announces every key that you press. Note: When you are using Java-based programs, MAGic announces each key that you press regardless of which option you select. Keystrokes to Echo As you type MAGic speaks, but if your typing speed is faster than the time it takes for the speech to respond to the keyboard your speech will lag behind typing. If so, adjust the Keystrokes to Echo. * Last Entry Only - If speech output lags behind typing, then MAGic speaks only the most recent entry, and discards the backlog. * Last 10 Entries - MAGic speaks the last ten entries and discards the backlog when speech output lags behind typing. * Speak All Entries - Even if a backlog occurs, MAGic speaks all entries. Say "Cap" Before Uppercase Letters If you select this check box, MAGic says, "Cap," before reading capital letters that you have typed or moved to with the arrow keys. You can enable or disable this option at any time by pressing MAGic Key+F2. Verbosity From the Speech menu, choose Verbosity to control the event driven functions that MAGic speaks. Select the check boxes of the items that you want to hear. Automatically Speak Automatically Speak contains a group of check boxes for items that you can choose to hear or not. With these check boxes selected, the following is what you will hear: * Window Titles - MAGic speaks the text that appears on the title bar of the window as the window becomes active. * Menus & Highlights - As you navigate the menu items, MAGic speaks the highlighted menu items. * Buttons & Check Boxes - MAGic speaks buttons and check boxes as you select them. * Group Boxes - Group boxes are collections of related check boxes or radio buttons often boxed together in a group with a common category or group heading. For example, in the Verbosity dialog box, the group boxes are Automatically Speak and Speak Shortcuts. When checked, MAGic speaks the group box heading the first time you select a button in the group. * Edit Boxes - An edit box is a field into which you type information. A list may appear beneath the field, from which you can make a selection, making this type of edit box a combo box. MAGic speaks edit boxes and combo boxes when they gain focus. * Tool Tips - ToolTips frequently appear when you rest the mouse over an item for a brief period of time. The ToolTip gives you a brief description of the item. MAGic speaks ToolTips of any length. * Questions - MAGic reads questions that may appear when dialog boxes are displayed. For example, "Are you sure you want to quit? * Explanations - MAGic reads explanatory text that may appear when dialog boxes are displayed. For example, "Type the name of the program, folder, or document and Windows will open it for you." * Text Changes - MAGic speaks dialog box text updates that may reflect status changes. Such updates may include the number of installation minutes remaining, or changes to display resolution. * Unpunctuated Phrases - MAGic reads text that appears in dialog boxes that does not contain punctuation. Speak Shortcuts Within menus and buttons, often a letter is underlined. You can press the underlined letter (also called an access key) in conjunction with the ALT key to activate the command or button. Menu selections may also list a keyboard combination that you can use to activate that choice without the use of the mouse or the menus. For example, on the File menu, to the right of Save Settings, you'll notice CTRL+S. You can press CTRL+S to carry out the Save Settings command without opening the menus. You can choose how MAGic reads underlined letters and shortcuts by selecting or clearing the following check boxes: * Button Underline - MAGic reads the underlined letter for buttons. * Menu Underline - MAGic reads the underlined letter for menus and menu commands. * Menu Shortcut - If a menu command has a shortcut key, MAGic reads the shortcut. Note: MAGic reads underlined letters before the button or menu or command name. Synchronization From the Speech menu, choose Synchronization to change how speech and large print are synchronized on the display. You can set synchronization differently for document and text reading and for dialog box reading. Document and Text Reading The Document and Text Reading tab allows you to choose how MAGic synchronizes speech and large print when reading documents and text. Visual Synchronization Select one of the following visual synchronization options: * Off - Speech is not synchronized with the text that appears on your screen. * Word by Word - MAGic shows the words on the screen as they are spoken. * Line by Line - MAGic shows the lines on the screen as they are spoken. When synchronization is set to Line by Line, MAGic moves down each line, but it does not move left to right to show all words on the line. Tip: To change how MAGic highlights text as it reads, open the Speech menu and choose Document and Text Reading. Auto Advance The following options automatically advance the mouse and typing cursor in synchronization with reading: * Mouse Pointer - If you select this check box, MAGic automatically advances the mouse pointer while reading. When reading stops, or you decide to pause, the mouse points to the last item that MAGic read. * Typing Cursor - If you select this check box, MAGic automatically advances the insertion point while reading. When reading stops, or you decide to pause, the insertion point is positioned over the last item that MAGic read. This feature is only active when reading documents and windows that you can edit. Dialog Box Reading The Dialog Box Reading tab allows you to choose how MAGic synchronizes speech and large print when reading dialog boxes. Visual Synchronization Select one of the following visual synchronization options: * Off - Speech is not synchronized with the text that appears on your screen. * Word by Word - MAGic shows the words on the screen as they are spoken. * Line by Line - MAGic shows the lines on the screen as they are spoken. When synchronization is set to Line by Line, MAGic moves down each line, but it does not move left to right to show all words on the line. Inverted Highlight On Select this check box to show the text as white, and the highlight as a black square around it when text is read. Document and Text Reading From the Speech menu, choose Document and Text Reading to customize how MAGic reads, highlights text, and scrolls the page. Note: You cannot use the box highlight style or adjust the transparency, thickness, or color of the highlighting if you are using Windows 95, 98, or ME. Highlight Style When MAGic uses synthesized speech to read the text on your screen, it can highlight the text it is speaking. This allows you to easily follow the text visually while MAGic reads. In the Highlight Style list, choose one of the following options to specify how you want MAGic to highlight text: * None - MAGic does not highlight text as it reads. * Box - Surrounds the text MAGic reads with an empty, rectangular outline. * Block - Highlights the text MAGic reads with a solid rectangle. * Underline - Underlines the text that MAGic reads. Color In the Color list, choose a color for the highlight style you selected. If you want to invert the colors in the area covered by the highlight, choose Invert Colors. Transparency Use the Transparency slider to adjust the transparency level of the selected highlight style. A higher level of transparency allows you to see more of the surrounding area covered by the highlighting. Thickness Use the Thickness slider to adjust the thickness of the highlight style you selected. This lets you change the vertical size of the underline and block highlight styles, and determine the thickness of the border for the box highlight style. Auto Scroll During Reading The Auto Scroll During Reading area lets you customize how speech advances when the bottom of a window is reached. * None - Reading stops at the bottom of the window regardless of the size of the document. The document does not scroll automatically; you must move to the next screen manually and make MAGic begin speaking again. * By Page - Reading continues beyond the window limit by automatically feeding the next page of the document. * By Line - Reading continues beyond the window limit by automatically feeding the document one line at a time. Speak Text Block As Use the Speak Text Block As area to determine whether you want MAGic to read by word or character. * Words - MAGic reads each word in the text block. * Characters - MAGic reads each character in text block, allowing you to hear how the words are spelled. Auto Speak Web Pages Select the Auto Speak Web Pages check box if you want MAGic to automatically begin reading when you view Web pages or other HTML documents. Chapter 6 Keyboard The Keyboard menu allows you to customize how you use your computer's keyboard with MAGic. MAGic Key Pressing the MAGic Key in combination with other keys activates a MAGic command if one is assigned, otherwise it will pass the key combination through to the application. Pressing the MAGic Key by itself and releasing it will not carry out any action. The default MAGic Key is CAPS LOCK. From the Keyboard menu, choose MAGic Key to assign the MAGic Key to any of the following keys: extended INSERT (found on the six pack), NUM PAD INSERT, either INSERT, or SCROLL LOCK (the key just above HOME on the six pack). Keyboard Assignments From the Keyboard menu on the MAGic user interface, select Keyboard Assignments to learn more about the hot keys in MAGic. You can view the current hot keys assigned to actions, assign different hot keys, remove hot keys, or restore the hot keys to the default settings from within the Keyboard Assignments dialog box. In the Category list, select what kind of hot keys you want to view. By choosing one of these categories, the items in the Action list will change to show only items that fit the category, making the list more manageable. Note: Selecting a specific application category shows hot keys for special MAGic functions in that application. Selecting All Default will not show application hot keys. Move to the Action list and select the action that you want to view. The hot key appears in the Current Hot Keys list, located to the right. If no hot key appears in the Current Hot Keys list, no hot key is assigned. Customizing Hot Keys To add a hot key, select an action in the Action list and click Assign Hot Key or press ALT+S. Press the combination of keys that you want to assign to the selected action. The key combination appears in the Assign To edit box. When you assign hot keys to actions, it doesn't matter whether you press the right or left ALT, CTRL, or SHIFT key. However, you may want to use only the left or right key so that additional key combinations remain available. To specify the left or right ALT, CTRL, or SHIFT keys for a hot key, select the appropriate check box(es) in the Differentiate Between area before you activate the Assign Hot Key button. For example, if you want to create a hot key that uses only the left ALT key, select the Left/Right Alt check box. Note: The hot keys that you assign while these check boxes are selected will always require you to press the correct left or right key. If you later clear the check box, previously created hot keys still require you to use the correct left or right key. To remove a hot key, select it in the Current Hot Keys list and click Remove Hot Key or press ALT+R. MAGic then asks you to confirm that you want to delete the hot key. You can click Restore Defaults or press ALT+D to return all hot key assignments to their original key combinations. Chapter 7 Application Specific Functions MAGic contains application specific functions to help you work in popular software applications. With MAGic's application specific functions, you will find that using these functions consolidates screen information, enhances application navigation, and eliminates visual clutter. For example, with MAGic running in Microsoft(r) Excel you can bring up a dialog box that will list the cells for a particular row that contain data. This consolidates screen information, because it presents the header, if one exists, and only those cells containing data. You can then move directly to a particular cell, without pressing the arrow keys to move through multiple empty cells, which enhances application navigation. When using MAGic with Microsoft(r) Internet Explorer, you can eliminate visual clutter by reformatting the screen. After you reformat, MAGic presents only the necessary text, and hides graphics that may not be of interest to you. With only the text showing, you'll find it easier to read the less cluttered screen. MAGic has included Application Specific Functions for Microsoft(r) Word, Microsoft(r) Excel, and Microsoft(r) Internet Explorer. MAGic and Microsoft Word MAGic has shortcut keys to help you use Microsoft Word 97, 2000, and 2002 without relying on the mouse to access certain features.

You also must enable "Unpunctuated Phrases" in the Verbosity dialog box found under MAGic's Speech menu. Post Column Total Press MAGic Key+ENTER to display the current column's total in a message box. Magic will find either the predefined row containing column totals, set in the Adjust MAGic Options dialog box, or will search the current column for a cell that contains the word SUM. You also must enable "Unpunctuated Phrases" in the Verbosity dialog box found under MAGic's Speech menu. List Row Use CTRL+SHIFT+R to list the cells in the current row that contain data. This allows you to set focus on the selected cell. If you defined column or row titles they will also be displayed. Post Row Title Press ALT+SHIFT+R to display the current row's title in a message box. You must define the row's title first, using the Adjust MAGic Options dialog box and you must enable "Unpunctuated Phrases" in the Verbosity dialog box found under the Speech menu. Post Row Total Use MAGic Key+DELETE to display the current row's total in a message box. MAGic will find either the predefined column containing row totals, set in the Adjust MAGic Options dialog box, or will search the current row for a cell that contains the word SUM. To use this keystroke you must enable "Unpunctuated Phrases" in the Verbosity dialog box found under the Speech menu. List Visible Cells with Data Use CTRL+SHIFT+D to list only the cells with data, which are visible on the screen. This enables you to quickly access relevant cells that are visible on the current screen, skipping blank cells. Select Hyperlink Press CTRL+SHIFT+H to list all hyperlinks on the current sheet, and this dialog box allows you to either move to the cell containing the hyperlink, or activate the link. Set Monitor Cells Use monitor cells to observe an area of your spreadsheet as you work. Press ALT+CTRL+SHIFT+1 to assign the cell or region of cells to the first monitor cell. Use ALT+CTRL+SHIFT+1 through 0 on the number row to assign up to ten different monitor cells.

Appendix B SAPI Synthesizers on a Network When you use MAGic on a network, the procedure for selecting a synthesizer other than Eloquence is the same as when you use a standalone version of MAGic. When you update your synthesizer list in the Voices dialog box, the synthesizers that populate the Available SAPI Synthesizers list are stored in your user profile. Therefore, the next time that you log into MAGic this information will automatically be displayed for you. If you move to another computer that does not have the same synthesizers installed, and attempt to change your synthesizer to one of these, you will receive a message stating, "The synthesizer you have selected is not available. Would you like this synthesizer removed from your list of available synthesizers." Choose Yes if you do not want to use this synthesizer on the network in the future. Choose No to have the synthesizer remain in your list for use on other network computers. When you choose an unavailable synthesizer, after attempting to find the synthesizer on your computer, MAGic will continue to use the synthesizer you were using before attempting to change synthesizers. If you select a synthesizer other than Eloquence as your synthesizer for your primary language, and move to a computer that does not have that synthesizer installed, when you log into MAGic, you will receive notification of this.
