Why does My Voice Sound Different/Why Do I Have to Press Every Key Twice in my Pathfinder?
Auditory prompts are verbal output messages that you assign to individual keys, to a row or column of keys, or to a quadrant of keys, most often when using 1 switch or 2 switch scanning. The Pathfinder will speak the prompts, usually in a different voice, when the Auditory Prompts option is turned ON in the AUDITORY PROMPTS MENU.
If Auditory Prompts are accidentally turned on and you are in Keyboard mode (selected in the SELECTION TECHNIQUE MENU), you will hear an auditory prompt for every key you select from the keyboard. This is similar to hearing just the first syllable of a word in a voice that is different from your main voice. This forces you to select every key twice: the first key press gives you the auditory prompt; the second key press will will bring up the icon or message.
Auditory Prompts should be turned OFF when using Keyboard mode:
1. Select the STATUS key twice.
2. Enter the AUDITORY PROMPTS menu.
3. Set the Auditory Prompts option to OFF.
4. Select #8 OK to exit.
Now everything you select should be a single hit selection and the prompt voice should not be spoken.
