How do I Use the Marker Tools in the Pathfinder?

Using Text and Speech Markers

Summary:

These tools mark text that is to be seen on the display but not spoken or that is to be spoken but not seen. Text & Speech Marker tool closes the operation.

Use the TEXT MARKER tool when you want text from a stored message to be seen on the display, but not spoken. The Text Marker tool goes in front of the text that is to be seen on the display.

Use the SPEECH MARKER tool when you want text from a stored message to be spoken by the Pathfinder but not to be seen on the display screen. The Speech Marker tool goes in front of the text that is to be spoken.

Use the TEXT & SPEECH MARKER tool to end the operation where individual speech and text markers were used in a message.
