ZoomText Fusion Verbosity Level Settings

Transcription

1 ZoomText Fusion has hundreds of customizable verbosity settings that determine what text or identifying information will be read from the screen, spoken as it appears, or announced while the user navigates through windows and their applications. In order to save configuration time however, ZoomText Fusion has grouped many of these into 3 general default verbosity level settings low, medium, and high. Low indicates less speaking and high indicates very high verbosity, meaning it speaks all the text on the screen as well as hidden text and object information that the application and operating system provide. The table below indicates which settings are on or off for each of the 3 general verbosity level settings. All the settings listed in the table below can be changed, no matter what general verbosity level you start with. There are also other customizable settings relating to verbosity that are not grouped with the 3 levels. But just like the settings below, they can be accessed either by the ZoomText Fusion User Interface (CTRL + SHIFT + U), or the ZoomText Fusion Screen Reader Control Panel (ALT + SHIFT + U) 1
