==========================	ASAP program
c:\asap\asap.com lt com1 @My7s6v9f

The s stands for speed, so 7 is fairly fast.  Try 5, and it will sound
better to you--which would drive me crazy, as it is far too slow [grin].
Typically, I run that synth on 8 or even 9, as it is slower than the ones
I use here.

The v is for volume.  Yes, the synth has its own volume control, but you
can also set the volume from the software.  I preset the hardware volume,
and then normally change it through the software as I see fit.  Usually,
the range is from 5-8 that I use most.  I try to set it to optimize the
signal to noise ratio.

The "f" feature is the one that sets the clarity of the speech.  9f is
optimal.  The other settings are less clear--more muffled. Some people
play with thepitch and even set up a different sounding voice, but I do
not bother.  If you want toplay with it, p is for pitch, and it accepts
numbers from 1-8 to set the pitch so 5p or 7p are  settings that give
different pitches.

You can change these at any time after asap is running by hitting keypad
0, the command key, then a number on the main keyboard, then the
corresponding letter. The keypad has to have numlock set--asap does this
when it boots.  Leave it set, or it cannot be used to instruct asap.

The normal numbers on the keypad direct the "reading cursor"  This is an
invisible cursor that moves around the screen, and reads the designated
portion.  There are many ways to do this--a very many number of ways.

It works conceptually like looking through a tiny pinhole at the computer
screen. To see anything, you would have to know where to look--row,
column, line, window, or whatever.  ASAP has flexibility to define these
areas, and read them in general, specifically, or when things happen--such
as information appearing, or disappearing.

ASAP is called automatic, as it tries to anticipate some things--it will
try always to read the active parts of the screen.  So, when you type, it
reads what you type.

You can direct the reading by hitting keypad 0, the command key, and asap
will say "next", then an alphabetic letter, for example.  This will read
that row on the screen--from a-y.

You can read the current line again by just hitting keypad 8--the previous
line by hitting keypad 7, and the next line by hitting keypad 9.
The current word is read by hitting keypad 5--the previous word by hitting
keypad 4, and the next word by hitting keypad 6.
Yes, and characters are 1, 2, and 3--following the same logical pattern.
