Style
 
"Color" button
 
♦  Changing the Style
 

Click the Style button to display 14 options.

Choose from two text sizes: normal or large.

And, choose one of the following styles:

  1. Black text on a white background with blue for links,
  2. Yellow text on a blue background with white for links,
  3. Black text on a yellow background with blue for links,
  4. Yellow text on a black background with white for links,
  5. Black text on a white background with gray scale white and black display with black for links,
  6. White text on a black background with gray scale white and black inverted display with white for links,
  7. White text on a black background with color inverted and embossed display with yellow for links.

The current setting is surrounded by a frame. Please confirm that the checkbox before the style name is marked. You can mark the checkbox by moving the mouse pointer to your choice and clicking the style name.

* You can select only one style. If you mark a different choice, your previous choice is invalidated.
 

Speech function
 
"Speech" button
 
♦  Automatically enable speech when it is available.
 
This setting determines whether speech starts automatically. This is true even when the language is other than the one that was used until speech starts (as can be the case when you move to a page in another language).
* Automatically enabling speech is the initial setting.
 
♦  Enable speech.
 
This setting determines whether you want to have speech along with magnification. If you want to use only the text magnification function, de-select the checkbox.
* Enabling speech with magnification is the initial setting.
 
♦  Display speech function status.
 
This setting determines whether the Rate and Volume buttons or the Loading Status is displayed. If you choose to display the loading status instead of the buttons, you cannot adjust the rate or the volume. However, this enables you to confirm the loading status so that you can determine how long you must wait until speech becomes possible. If you want to make an adjustment after moving to another page, de-select the checkbox on that new page to display the rate and volume buttons. If you invalidate the checkmark for "Enable speech," it is automatically checkmarked.
* The checkmark has already been invalidated at the initial startup of Easy Web Browsing.
 

Speech policy
 
"Speech Policy"
 
♦  Enable Continuous Reading Mode
 
This setting determines whether sentences, links and such on the open page are read in a consecutive manner. A displayed portion moves in conformity with a speech portion on that page. Do not move the cursor.

If you want to discontinue speech before it finishes, move the mouse to an area where no sentences or such exist on the page. If it still does not stop, right-click the mouse. When you want to restart speech, move the mouse to the point from which you want to start speech. Speech starts from the paragraph to which the mouse is moved. You cannot start speech from the middle of a paragraph.
* Continuous reading mode is disabled as the initial setting.
 

Magnification
 
Magnification
 
♦  Magnify Reading Text
 
This setting determines whether you can magnify reading text on the magnification window in the lower portion of the screen.
* Magnifying reading text in the magnification window is the initial setting.

This setting determines the number for text magnification.

Click one of the five numbers to select the respective checkbox. You can set up only one number.
* 3 is the initial setting.
 
♦  Magnification Window Height
 
This setting determines how large the magnification window can be.

Click one of the five numbers to select the respective checkbox. You can set up only one number.
Note that this setting works with the previous setting (Text Magnification Size) to determine text magnification sizes.
* 3 is the initial setting.
 

Zoom
 
"Others" button
 
♦  Apply a zoom rate during zoom slider operation
 
This setting determines whether you will see zooming happening as you move the slider or if the display will remain the same until you release the slider.
* No change in screen size until after the slider is released is the initial setting.
 
♦  Reset a zoom rate
 
This button resets the zoom rate to 100%. Press the Done button to reset the screen display size to the original one.
* You can also reset the zoom rate to 100% using the Default button - be careful, though, because all settings will be defaulted.
 

Sound

♦  Sound effects
 
This setting determines the sound pattern you hear. Choose one of three sounds or choose no sound pattern.
