Accessing the User Guide

Accessing the User Guide

There are two ways to access this user guide, either using the touchscreen or using your voice. It should be noted that if you have locked your device by holding down the lock button, you will need to unlock it, by holding down the lock button, in order to access the user guide in either of these manners.

Accessing the user guide with your voice

To access the user guide using your voice, say user guide. Pocket will let you know that it is reading the user guide, and then list the sections or topics for you to choose from. To choose one of these sections you can either, interrupt the listing and say yes or that one, or, after the listing has finished you could, for example, say number one to select the first item in the list.

Each section of the user guide may contain multiple articles. You will be able to access them the same way as discussed above.

After listening to an article you can either say next to listen to the next article, or you can say headlines to hear the list of available articles.

If at any point you want to go back a step or return to where you just came from, say go back.

Accessing the user guide via the touchscreen

You can access the user guide using the touchscreen on your device. To do this you must first access the touchscreen menu by drawing a large L with your finger along the edge of your screen, starting from the top left corner and ending at the bottom right.

Once you have opened the touchscreen menu you can slowly slide your finger up and down the screen to hear the options available to you. When you hear the option you want, in this case it would be user guide, lift your finger off the screen to select it. Your device will then tell you that it is showing the user guide.

After this your device will have a list of sections for you to choose from on the screen, you can listen to the titles of these sections by sliding your finger up and down the screen, and then you can select one by lifting your finger off the screen.

Within these sections there will either be more articles to choose from, or there will be information. If there is information Pocket will read it out to you. The options available to you will always remain on your screen when you are using the touch screen menu. This means that after Pocket has finished reading to you, you can once again slide your finger up and down the screen to hear the options available to you.

If you want to go back up a level to the options you previously had, slide your finger up and down the screen until you hear done or back and lift your finger off to select it. To exit the touchscreen menu, you will need to go back a number of times by selecting these done or back options. When you exit the touchscreen menu your device will say exiting menu.

For more specific help if you get stuck when using a feature of Pocket say, Help.
