And you should be able to switch through different options on your rotor and that will get you out of the speaking rate option. After you are on a different rotor option, you should be able to scroll left and right and up and down. I have had some issues with this in the past where it wouldn’t let me scroll down on the screen, but I can’t remember which rotor option I was on that would let me do you up and down. Hope this is helpful.

>> The National Federation of the Blind knows that blindness is not the characteristic that defines you or your future. Every day we raise the expectations of blind people, because low expectations create obstacles between blind people and our dreams. You can live the life you want; blindness is not what holds you back.
