If you do not use a Mouse
This programme has been designed to be used primarily by Mouse movements. If you do not use a Mouse, or are unable to use a Mouse, you should enable MouseKeys. To do this:
1. Open the Control Panel
2. Select Accessibility Options
3. Select the "Mouse" tab
4. Switch on MouseKeys
You will be able to control the Mouse using your Numeric Keypad. This will allow you to navigate to text on web pages which would normally be inaccessible using the keyboard.

Change settings
Change settings like the voice, pitch, reading entire page etc by double clicking or right clicking once on the taget icon in the system tray (bottom right corner of your screen).
