Navigate the Book List

Navigate the Book List

To navigate through your Recent Books, Wishlist or Bookshelf.

First, open a book list.

For Recent Books, say:

Recent Books.

For Wishlist say:

My Wishlist.

For your Bookshelf say:

Go to my bookshelf.

Then, to move to the next group of items, when there are more than five items.

Say: Next.

To move back by one group of items; when there are more than five items and you have previously said next.

Say: Back

or

Go Back.

Helpful Tip.

If you have not moved forward in the list, saying back will take you back to the task you were last doing.

To move forward by a specified number of items in the list, try something like:

Say: Jump forward 20.

To move backward by a specified number of items in the list, say something like:

Jump back 15.

Helpful Tip.

You can say any number of items, but it must be smaller than the total number of books listed. For example if In Your Pocket said, listing first 5 of 35; you can only jump forward by 30 or any number smaller than 30.

To search the results for an item that contains a specific word.

Say a command that includes the word Next containing, like:

Next containing Adventure.

By saying, next containing, the book list will be filtered to tell you any books within the next 200 items that contain the word adventure. Pocket refines the initial search list up to 200 items to provide relevant results.

To search the list for an item that starts with a specific letter.

Say a command that includes the phrase Next starting with, like:

Next starting with B.

In Your Pocket will find the next item in the list starting with the letter B, within the next 200 items. To provide relevant results Pocket refines the initial search list up to 200 items. Please be aware that when searching by, Next starting, the results exclude words like, The, or A . So if you said, Next starting with T, books starting with The, will not be included.

Helpful Tip

If you want to hear your choices again say, Repeat or Say that again.
