Dolphin ScreenReader For You

Overview

Welcome to Learn Dolphin ScreenReader.

The following pages introduce you to Dolphin ScreenReader and its most popular features. The content will help you learn the key features with the aim of ensuring you get the most from your product.

Keyboard Commands

You will find reference to keyboard commands within the videos and text. The keyboard commands refer to the UK English keyboard layout. Keys for other layouts may not correspond exactly to the documented keys.

Where keyboard commands are stated, a plus sign (+) means that you need to press multiple keys at the same time. For example, ALT + F means you must hold down the ALT key and while it is held down, press the F key before releasing both keys. When a comma sign (,) appears in a keyboard command it means you press the keys in sequence. For example, ALT, F means you tap the ALT key and then tap the F key.

Hotkey Sets

There are two different hotkey sets referenced within the topics. The hotkeys come from the two most popular hotkey sets used with ScreenReader.

These are:

  • The Desktop Default NumPad Set.
    This hotkey set is based upon a standard Windows plugin keyboard and makes use of both the numeric keypad and the main keyboard for its hotkey assignments.
  • The Laptop Universal Set.
    This hotkey set is based upon a standard inbuilt laptop keyboard layout without a numeric keypad and makes use of only the main keyboard layout for its hotkey assignments.

If instructions state only one hotkey, then this means the keyboard assignment is the same in both hotkey sets.

To review your current assignment:

  1. Open the ScreenReader Control Panel.
  2. From the "General" menu, open the "Keyboard Settings" submenu, and select "Keyboard" (ALT + G, K, K).
