Web Reader – text browsing the internetWeb Reader helps you enjoy using the internet. It is based upon the PC WebbIE text browser experience. At present it is read-only but we plan to make it interactive. The opening screen buttons are Browse, Search, History, Favourites, Manage and Preferences. Search is by far the most useful option. You are asked to speak the words you want. Select them if the phone has got it right or select the Clear button and try again. You will be presented with a list of websites. They are displayed as text only with no images or ads. To see more possible websites or the next items on a webpage, swipe up the screen with two fingers. Select your chosen website and you are taken to it. To make reading webpages easier, there is a Menu button beside the Android home button at the bottom of the screen. Tap this once to reveal five options:W, H, L, F, S. W: Display as web page: This shows the webpages with images, small text and so on but there is no speech output. Android magnification may help you, and T takes you back to the text only version. H: Next heading. L: Hides links. F: Saves the website in favourites. S: Search on webpage To go back, select the Android Back button at the bottom of the screen. Browse: when you select this you are invited to speak or type the name of a website. You may find typing the name is more accurate. If Web Reader can’t find the website you chose, you will get a message “Unfortunately Georgie has stopped working”. Select OK to clear it and maybe try again. History: This keeps a record of your chosen web searches, allowing you to save time by revisiting a previous search. You might want to delete this history from time to time. Favourites: This lets you keep those websites you want regularly without having to retype or voice them. Manage: This lets you rename or tidy up anything you have saved. Preferences: This lets you clear your web search history. To come out of a webpage, currently touch the Back button at the bottom right or left of the screen. If you have bought Web Reader on its own without GeorgiePhone, you can only input text by speaking to the phone. If you have purchased GeorgiePhone, you can also use the keyboard and make other choices about how it behaves for you: The colours, font style and size etc. NOTE: If speech seems to be cutting out on occasions, the proximity sensor might be causing the trouble. So keep the phone away from face or the other hand while you are listening. Download 7.08 Kb. Share with your friends:
