You may skip ahead or skip backwards through narrated audio DAISY materials without having to actually be in the FSReader user interface. This is GREAT for training purposes! What this means is that you can be listening to a DAISY book about training and open a practice document, for example, in Microsoft® Word or Windows Explorer or any other application. You can stay in the practice document and still control FSReader audio with this new feature! You no longer have to press ALT+TAB to move between the FSReader program and back again to your practice files. Just stay within the practice file and use the following keystrokes to control FSReader audio (if audio is available in the DAISY book):
Practice the following commands while in the Table of Contents.
NOTE: Since CTRL+P is also normally used as a hot key within applications to access the print dialog, when FSReader is running this hot key will not open the print dialog box. Instead, if FSReader is open in the background, this hot key controls the audio play and pause feature. If you need to print a document while FSReader is running use the application's regular menu commands to print. Normally, that means just press ALT+F to open the file menu of that program and then press P to get to the print dialog box.
Extra Practice: Experiment with increasing and decreasing the audio playback speed. You may use the following keystrokes while audio is playing:
