[Blindapple] Apple Talk Reader?

[JM Casey]

Hey. Yes, I was able to select articles with the cursor. But is Echo supposed to start speaking when you hit enter on an article/after it reads from the disk? Because I waited for quite some time in about three or four different cases and heard nothing. That’s why I was wondering if there was some other step I was missing.

When you arrow up and down through the list and hear what you want,

just press enter to read the article.

Heya. Sorry for what amounts to a real newby question, but how does one actually get this programme to read a text file? I’ve got to the list of articles on disk, and can select them with the arrow keys. Once I do that, though, silence. I’ve tried moving the cursor around with the arrows, but hear nothing. I went into review mode to see if for some reason there was text on the screen which Echo hadn’t spoken. Nothing. What am I missing here? I know there’s an “about apple talk reader” file on many of the disks, but at this point, I would need to use Apple Talk Reader to read it! I honestly can’t remember at all how I used to read text files on the 2 e; I know it wasn’t Apple Talk Reader because I never had any issues of this magazine, though I remember being a bit curious about it. Might have used BEX actually.

 

 

Thanks.
