*Note: While it is possible to control most voice adjustments including pitch, rate

and punctuation via the various BrailleSense voice settings, it is necessary to

control voice volume, the default voice for each engine, and other settings

specific to the engine you are using via the Android system settings under “Text-

to-speech” in either the “Accessibility” or “Language and Input” area.

3.11 BrailleSense Global Options

The "Global Options" on the BrailleSense is a large dialog box for controlling

many preferences/settings. Open the "BrailleSense Global Options" from the

main menu, by pressing S to open the “Settings” menu, then "O" for the "Global

Options". You can also open "Global Options" from anywhere on the notetaker

by pressing "Space-O".

The "Global Options" dialog is organized into groups, making it easy to jump to

a particular section in the long list of settings. You can navigate among the

groups with "page down ("Space-3-4-5" or "F3-F4")" or "page up ("Space-1-2-6"

or "F1-F2")". When you navigate to a group, you are placed at the position

where that group of options begins.

You can navigate among the individual options using "Space-1" and "Space-4"

or using the scroll keys. You can also use shortcut keys to quickly move to

specific items.

 Note: Often, the same shortcut key is used for multiple options. Thus, the

first press of the shortcut key moves the focus to the first setting that

matches; pressing the key again moves to the next setting that matches.

If there are no more settings matching the shortcut, the BrailleSense

wraps around to the first match.

Many of the Global Options also have global hotkeys, allowing you to adjust

these settings from anywhere on the unit.
