Navigation tab
Reading time: 2min

Navigation mode to use when beginning to navigate an equation:
- Enhanced. Navigation is by mathematically meaningful pieces (operators, delimiters, and operands).
- Simple. This moves by words except when you get to a 2D notation (fractions, roots, ...), then it speaks the entire notation. Zooming in lets you explore the 2D notation in the same mode. Zooming out or moving out of the 2D notation brings you back to the outer/higher level of navigation.
- Character. This is actually two useful modes -- word mode and character mode (zoom in to get "real" character mode). Moves by words/characters. The two modes differ when you are navigating numbers with more than one digit and function names that are multiple characters. Otherwise, word and character navigation is the same.
- Reset navigation mode on entry to an expression. If checked, MathPlayer will use the selected mode of navigation. If unchecked, it will use the most recently used navigation mode. Example: Nav mode is set to enhanced. The author enters an expression into the document, starts navigating, and switches to character mode via the keyboard shortcut. She exits the expression and begins navigating the next expression. If the Reset box is checked, MathPlayer's nav move when it enters the expression is enhanced. If unchecked, the nav mode is character, since this is the mode the author had set when navigating the previous expression.
-
Navigation speech to use when beginning to navigate an equation:
- Speak. MathPlayer will speak the entire expression when entering the expression.
- Describe/overview. MathPlayer will describe where you are in the expression as you navigate -- for example, "root" -- then when you find the part you want MathPlayer to speak, you can toggle the navigation mode with the Shift+spacebar shortcut. You can read (speak) or describe an expression without toggling the mode anytime by pressing the spacebar (read current) or "Ctrl+Shift+spacebar" (describe current).
- Reset navigation speech on entry to an expression. If checked, MathPlayer will use the selected navigation speech. If unchecked, it will use the most recently used navigation speech. Example: Nav speech is set to "Speak". Someone reading the document enters an expression and starts navigating. He switches from "Speak" to "Describe" with the keyboard shortcut. He exits this expression and begins navigating the next expression. If the Reset box is checked, the nav speech he starts with is "Speak" mode. If unchecked, the nav mode he starts with is "Describe" mode, which is the mode he had been using with the previous math expression.
-
Speech amount for navigation: Controls echoing of navigation commands.
- Terse. You will hear "zoomed in/out all of the way" and "start/end of math", as well as the math itself.
- Medium. Same as Terse, plus "zoom in/out".
- Full. Same as Medium, plus "move left/right".
- Automatic zoom out of 2D notations: When unchecked, moving farther left or right when at the edge of a math structure will not result in any movement; the position will remain there, and the audible response will be "end of denominator" if in a fraction, or whatever the appropriate response is for other structures. If checked, the navigation of the current structure ends, and navigation "zooms out" to the previous level. Navigation will continue to zoom out as many times as needed until it reaches something new.
