Installation

If you have already installed Talking Dictionary you can skip this section. The dictionary is installed in the normal manner and will select the normal default locations for shortcut icons and storage of the program and its data files. It is not necessary to change anything during installation although advanced users may prefer to use their own settings here. If you are unfamiliar with installing software programs it may be best for you to consult your system administrator or a colleague to assist you.

You must switch off screen magnification software such as Zoomtext during installation. You can switch these back on again once your talking software product has been installed.

During the installation process Talking Dictionary installer will create two shortcuts for the program: one of these located on the desktop and another in the start menu. A start menu group will also be created. This group also contains convenient shortcuts to the program help files.
