Franklin ic-157 User Manual

✓ 

The Speech Card does recognize conjunctions:
(e.g. can’t, wouldn’t, it’s). The apostrophe is typed
by holding 

 and pressing 

. However, the

Speech Card does not pronounce possessives us-
ing an apostrophe, like woman’s, players’, their’s.

• Periods

There are some abbreviations that the Speech
Card recognizes. Mostly these are titles such as
Mr., Mrs., and Ms..

The Speech Card recognizes words that require
the use of a hyphen in the word itself: (e.g. father-
in-law, first-rate, cross-reference). The hyphen is
typed by holding 

 and pressing 

. Be

careful with this function; if the word does not re-
quire a hyphen then the word will not be recog-
nized.

You can type capitals with this digital book by
holding the 

 key and pressing the letter

you wish to have capitalized. The Speech Card
will only recognize a word if the first letter is
capitalized.
