A Note About Modifiers

, there are some SAMNet hot keys which can be used to gain access to specific information, such as date and time, a list of links on a Web page, and much more. Many of these commands are performed by holding down a key, referred to as the Modifier Key, in conjunction with another key. The Modifier Key can be one of four keys, including the Insert Key, often located near the Home Key on the keyboard, the Caps-lock Key, the 0 Key on the Numpad, or the Scroll-lock Key. For your convenience, all these modifier keys are active and you may choose the one which seems most comfortable at any given time. For example, you may find it easiest to use the Caps-lock key in conjunction with the letter F to bring up the System Access menu, but you may prefer using the Numpad 0 key in conjunction with F12 to hear the current time and date.

Here are just a few keystrokes and their descriptions to get you started. Alt+Control+N: Starts SAMNet.

Modifier+F: Brings up the System Access menu, where you may adjust preferences, view or modify account settings, and launch other Serotek services.

Modifier+F12: Speaks the current time and date.

Modifier+Down Arrow: Reads from your current position to the bottom of the document or window.

Modifier+Up Arrow: Reads the current line. Press twice quickly to spell the current line.

Modifier+F7: Brings up a list of links on the current Web page.

Backspace: goes back a page.

Modifier+L: switches between English and French languages.

Escape: closes any SAMNet window.

Alt+H: brings up this help document.

Modifier+H: press any key or combination of keys to find out what they do. Exit this mode by pressing Escape.

Once you are at SAMNet Home, the system will automatically read your choices. You can move around by using the arrow keys, or Tab to move forward, and Shift+Tab to move in reverse. When you hear the item you want, press Enter. To read continuously, press Modifier+Down Arrow. Press the Control key to silence speech. You can always resume reading

by issuing another read command. When you are finished using SAMNet, press Escape. You will be asked: “Are you sure

you want to disconnect from the System Access Mobile Network?” Just press Enter or Y for yes.
