Keyboard Cradle (Optional)
In addition to the standard docking station that provides power charging function, there
is also an optional cradle equipped with USB keyboard. With sophisticated design, the
lighter and slimmer SlateVision is a reliable partner that extends your exquisite taste.
Instead of using the stylus to input data in the Tablet PC Input Panel, you can place
SlateVision on its keyboard cradle and input data with a standard USB keyboard. And
the better part is that with the USB mouse connected, your SlateVision will function
just like a desktop PC!

Using Stylus and Tablet Buttons
Using Your Stylus Correctly
To interact with your tablet computer, SlateVision offers a unique input tool, EMD
compatible stylus, that you can use it in place of a mouse or a standard keyboard.
Instead of using a mouse, you can use your stylus to interact with items on your
screen. You can move items, open them, change them, delete them, and more. Also,
instead of using a standard keyboard, you can use your stylus with Microsoft® Tablet
PC Input Panel or Microsoft® Windows® Journal to enter text with your own
handwriting.
SlateVision provides two forms of EMD compatible stylus, including ones that can be
stored above the LCD screen, or ones come in actual pen size, and an advanced
version that comes with an "eraser" that can be activated with certain software.
Figure 4.1.1 The slim stylus can be stored directly
above the LCD screen.

Use the pen instead of a mouse
You can use your stylus to do many things you're used to do with mouse. That
includes the pointer on the screen, clicking the left mouse, and clicking the right mouse.
Use single-tap anywhere you would normally single-click with the mouse. Where you
would double-click using the mouse, you now double-tap with the stylus.
There are four basic actions that you can perform with your stylus. Pen actions
correspond to mouse actions as follows:
Stylus Action
Mouse Action
Point
Point
Tap
Click
Double-tap
Double-click
Press and hold
Right-click
Drag

Right-click equivalents
You can use your stylus to use features that you would normally access with a right
mouse button, such as shortcut menus. There is a button on your stylus as a right-click
equivalent. Or, you can use another one stylus action called "press and hold".
1.
Using stylus button as a right-click equivalent
You can use the stylus button to display shortcut menus or access other
program-specific right-click features. You can turn on or turn off the tablet pen
button for right-click in Control Panel > Tablet and Pen Settings.
To use the stylus button for right-click, press the stylus button and hold it
as you tap the screen of your SlateVision, and then release the stylus
button.
To right-drag an item, press the stylus button, hold it as you drag the item
to the location of your choice, and then release the choice.
2.
Using press and hold for right-click
You can also use a tablet pen action called "press and hold" to perform right-click
equivalents. You can turn on or turn off press and hold for right-click in Control
Panel > Tablet and Pen Settings.
To use press and hold as a right-click equivalent, press the tip of the tablet pen
into the screen, hold it down until the mouse icon appears, and then lift the tablet
pen. The pop-up menu appears and then you may tap your choice now.
32
Using Stylus and Tablet Buttons
Tips for using stylus
Hold the stylus in the same way that you hold a pen or pencil when writing
on paper.
Rest the palm of your hand on the screen and hold the stylus near the tip
when you tap or perform other actions.
To tap successfully, tap and lift your pen quickly off the screen. Avoid
pushing items with your pen.
When tapping, watch the pointer as it moves on the screen, not the tip of
the stylus. This will help you more accurately tap what you're aiming at on
the screen.

Tablet and Pen Settings
The Tablet and Pen Settings is a very important and useful tool when you start using

orientation of the display screen, e.g., from landscape to portrait. You might also want
to customize your tablet buttons or stylus button. You can adjust these in Control
Panel > Tablet and Pen Settings, just like you adjust computer mouse settings.

Using Speech
What is Speech?
Speech capabilities for a computer system refers to the ability to play back text in a
spoken voice (referred to as text-to-speech or TTS), or to convert a spoken voice into
electronic text (referred to as speech recognition or SR). The two capabilities are
independent of each other. Many systems will have only TTS. SR may be installed
later either by loading a speech package, or more commonly, through an application
which has incorporated speech into it. For example, a new word processor or office
tool suite may include speech and it will be loaded at that time.
Launch Speech
For speech systems to work properly or for optimal results, the components need to be
set up correctly.
1. Set up a microphone
Plug a microphone into the microphone jack on the bottom of SlateVision.
Open Speech in Control Panel.
Select the Speech Recognition tab.
Speak directly into the microphone. The sound level should register in the
Microphone Level indicator.
You can also tap Configure Microphone… to invoke Microphone
Wizard for you to adjust your microphone volume for use with speech
recognition.

2.
Set up speakers
You can plug an external speaker into the Line-out jack or using the
external speaker.
Open Speech in Control Panel.
On the Text-to-Speech tab, click Preview Voice to hear the currently
selected voice; the text will be spoken, highlighting the words as they are
spoken. If the speakers are working properly, you will hear the spoken
words.
3.
Change languages
The language used by either speech recognition (SR) or text-to-speech (TTS) is
dependent on the respective engine. Only one engine of each type (SR and TTS)
can be active at a given time. You may decide a particular engine better meets
your requirements and use that engine more often. Once an engine is set, it is not
usually necessary to change it.
To change an SR language:
Open Speech in Control Panel.
On the Speech Recognition tab, change the SR language by changing
the SR engine.
To change a TTS language:
Open Speech in Control Panel.
On the Text-to-Speech tab, change the TTS language by changing the
