VOCAL-EYES(tm)

VOICE ACCESS SYSTEM FOR IBM PCs AND COMPATIBLES

Vocal-Eyes was designed to enhance career opportunities for the
visually-impaired by providing fast and flexible access to the
wealth of software used by business and professionals.  Important
independence and productivity gains can be realized by
integrating
Vocal-Eyes' many voice features into almost any word processor,
data base management program, or spreadsheet.  "Voice
interactiveness" can be added to such popular programs as
WordPerfect and Lotus 1-2-3.  Working in tandem with any standard
voice synthesizer, Vocal-Eyes offers selective voice responses
that
can be tailored to the exact needs of the job.

Vocal-Eyes contains a veritable treasure house of advanced voice
features, perhaps the most powerful being the ability it gives
you
to customize the program to fit your individual needs and
requirements.  Far beyond the basic ability to set up custom
applications environments, Vocal-Eyes can be given a
"personality"
that incorporates the entirety of its command structure.  You
will
without doubt discover Vocal-Eyes to be the most flexible tool
yet
for fitting in to the way you like to work.

with a specific color and more.

additional 30 windows which can be read at any time.  Like all
windows, these can be setup from a single character up to the
full
screen.

directly to speak.  You can monitor for:  Any change, any text
change, any attribute change, exact match, exact text match,
exact
attribute match, different match, different text match, different

Learning Disabilities
With certain synthesizers, Vocal-Eyes can be instructed to
highlight each word as it is being read from the screen.  The
user
can simply inverse the spoken word or specify both the foreground
and background colors.  This visual feedback along with the
standard audio feedback allows those with learning disabilities
to
comprehend at a much greater level.

Hot keys
These are Vocal-Eyes commands only.  The underlying applications
program will not be disturbed with these keystrokes.
- Over 70 assignable hot key speech features
- Hot keys to read previous, current and next for character,     
word, line, sentence, and paragraph
- Four hot keys to route your applications cursor backwards and
forwards by sentence and paragraph
- Hot key to read to end of document
- Hot key to read the current box on the screen
- Hot key to read the date and time
- Bypass hot key which allows the next Vocal-Eyes command to be
ignored so the underling application can receive the keystroke
- Each hot key can be assigned the keystroke of your choice
- Hot keys which are of no interest can be setup as undefined

Cursoring keys
These are applications keys.  You simply tell Vocal-Eyes what you
want voiced after the application acts on the command.  Your
choices are:  character, previous word, word, next word, line,
sentence, paragraph, to end of line, light bar, box, cursor
position, field data, field name, field name and data, prior
character, current window, any of the ten windows, activate any
of
the ten windows, or load a RAM .SET. For example, Control-Right
Arrow in WordPerfect would be setup to read the current word. 
You
can even link two of these options for a single keystroke.  A
total
of 46 cursoring keys can be defined in this way.

Documentation
A step-by-step instruction guide is supplied in print, on
audio cassette, and on disk.  This documentation gives all needed
information through well over 200 pages of tutorially-styled
examples.
