We have worked hard to make Talklets as accessible as possible to all users so have included a range of 'hotkeys' which allow Talklets to be controlled by the use of keyboard strokes rather than a mouse. The range of keys will be familiar to some users of other assistive technologies.
The standard keys are as follows:
F9 - Switch hotkeys and sound on/off
F12 - Hear Hot Key List
S - Smart Story Finder - This feature asks VIKI to automatically find the main story or content on the page. This feature is currently only available for Internet Explorer users.
M - Toggle the mouse over reader. When on, the text of the element the mouse is over will be read.
A - go to next link.
H - go to next heading.
L - go to next list.
I - go to next item in a list.
G - go to Google Accessible Search.
E - go to the next editable input box. N.B. This will mean your key presses will enter text and NOT activate hotkeys. To activate hot key interaction again press F8.
B - next button.
F8 - step out of input element, so access keys are re-enabled.
T - next table.
X - next DIV.
SHIFT plus any of the above (except the Smart Story Finder) - Reads the previous .
U - Enter a URL (Web address).
BACKSPACE - go to previous page.
FULL STOP and SHIFT - next element. Most element types will be read aloud.
COMMA and SHIFT - previous element. Most element types will be read aloud.
Z - Zoom in. SHIFT plus Z to zoom out.
V - read again.
