How to navigate around text in The Grid 2
There are several commands that allow you to speak and navigate your way through text, including Next, Previous or Speak Word, Next, Previous or Speak Sentence and the new Next, Previous or Speak Paragraph commands.
There is also an option to move the cursor to the end of the text you have just spoken for the Speak Sentence and Speak Paragraph commands. This can be very useful for people doing presentations, and who have written their talk in advance. See our video for an example.
Adding a Speak Paragraph command
1. Go into Editing Mode (press F11).
2. Double click on an empty cell to edit, and click on add a command.
3. Type ‘speak paragraph’ into the search box. Click on the Speak Paragraph command, and then ok.
4. In the Edit Cell window, select whether you want the cursor to stay at the beginning, or move to the end of the paragraph after speaking.
NB: Currently these commands only work in the Text workspaces, not in the Symbol workspace.
