Home Page Reader 2.5: Changing the way links are announced

HPR has 4 options for link announcement:

1. Midi ping: a ping sound announces each link.
2. None: links are not announced.
3. Voice change: A female voice is used to announce a link.
4. Text: The word, "link", is spoken before the link itself.

By default, HPR uses voice change to announce links; text is spoken in a male voice and links are spoken in a female voice.

Seven steps to change the way HPR announces links:

4. Press 8 and 2 on the numeric keypad to move up and down the speech settings sub menu until you hear "link announcement".
5. Press the 4 and 6 keys on the numeric keypad to move back and forward through the list of link announcement options.
6. When you hear the link announcement option you want, press the asterisk key on the numeric keypad to return to the settings menu.
7. Press the asterisk key on the numeric keypad again to return to normal mode.
