With the Opera browser open, you can set voice preferences.
To select features for using voice, tap the Menu key (or the toolbar icon), and select Preferences ] Voice.
The Listening key specifies the push-to-talk button.
By default, the Select key (center button) is the push-to-talk button. Press and hold this key while you talk.
Alternatively, you can select the Address Book key as the push-to-talk button. To do this:
From the Listening key list, choose Zaurus Key: man, and select OK. Then close the Opera browser.
From the Application screen, push the Menu key , and then select Settings ] Application Key. Next to the Address Book symbol, select Opera 7.0 Browser.
Restart Opera to activate the new listening key.
Tip: Try each listening key to find which one works better for you.
The Listening mode specifies how to use the Listening key.
By default, in Push to talk mode, you press and hold the button on the device while speaking, and then release the button.
In Push to activate mode, you press and release the button, and then say the response. When you finish speaking, it detects silence and automatically stops listening (if there is background noise, it might take a moment for the system to detect the end of speech).
Select the check box if you want a tap on the screen to stop the voice prompts (deselected by default).
Tap OK, and restart Opera to activate your changes.
